The Quick Route

Choose Compress PDF → Save A Separate Copy → Compare The Result.

Follow The Steps

  1. 1

    Choose Compress PDF

    Open Advanced PDF Utilities Free and choose Compress PDF. Select the document you want to optimize.

  2. 2

    Save A Separate Copy

    Run the available structural optimization and save to a different filename. Keep the source document.

  3. 3

    Compare The Result

    Check both file size and document appearance. Use the optimized copy only if the result suits your needs.

Before You Finish

Version 8.1.0 uses safe structural optimization. It does not promise image downsampling or a fixed compression percentage. Some PDFs remain the same size or become larger.
