How to make a PDF under 200 KB
First the file is rewritten without any loss. If it is still too big, the pages are redrawn as images at decreasing quality until the PDF fits under 200 KB.
- Choose the PDF.
- The limit is already set to 200 KB - change it if your portal says otherwise.
- Press Compress PDF and download.
If it still does not fit
Long scanned documents may not fit in 200 KB however strongly they are compressed. Remove pages you do not need with Remove pages, or split the PDF and upload the parts separately.
Questions
Will the text still be readable at 200 KB?
For most documents, yes - the highest quality that fits is chosen.
Can I still select the text?
Only if the lossless step was enough. When pages are redrawn as images, the text is no longer selectable.
