How does the Compress PDF (Aggressive) work?

When the regular Compress PDF tool isn't small enough, this aggressive variant re-rasters every page as a JPEG and rebuilds the PDF around those images. Typical reductions of 70–90% on image-heavy PDFs (catalogues, scans, magazines), and 30–50% on text-heavy docs. The trade-off is real: the output PDF's text becomes non-selectable and non-searchable (it's a picture, not a text stream). Use this when you need to email a giant PDF and the recipient doesn't need to copy text from it. Conversion runs in your browser.

Frequently asked

Each page is converted to a JPEG image. Images don't have a text layer. If you need selectable text, use Compress PDF (the standard tool) — it's less aggressive but preserves text.
