How to shrink a PDF
Have you run out of space on the USB stick in which you keep all your study and / or work documents? I have to give you some good news: you don’t have to delete any of them to free up some memory. How do you say? It’s impossible? You’ve obviously never had anything to do with Free PDF Compressor.
Free PDF Compressor is a free program that allows you to reduce the size of a PDF file without altering its content and keeping it readable with any PDF reader. Use it with documents that take up more space on your USB stick and you will see that you will solve your problems without having to delete anything!
The first thing you need to do to reduce the size of a PDF file is to connect to this page of the CNet website and click on the Download Now item to download the Free PDF Compressor program on your computer. When the download is complete, double-click on it to open the file you just downloaded ( PDFCompressor.exe ) to start Free PDF Compressor and access the main program screen.
In the window that opens, click on the Load … button to select the PDF file whose size you want to reduce, put the check mark next to the Flate item to select the compression method of the document and select the degree of compression to be applied to the PDF placing the check mark next to Default (average compression in average compression times), Maximum (maximum compression, very slow) or Fastest (minimum compression, maximum speed).
Then click on the Compress button , select the folder in which to save the compressed PDF, type the name you want to give it in the File Name field , and click on the Save button to reduce the size of a PDF file . The duration of the procedure depends on the size and length in pages of the source document.
When the procedure is completed, click on the OK button to close the notification of the successful compression of the file (in which the original dimensions of the PDF and those of the file after compression are written). Documents compressed with Free PDF Compressor can be opened freely with any PDF reader without having to take additional steps.
