Compress a PDF for email

Email systems have different attachment limits, so reduce the file, check the actual size, and confirm the document is readable before sending it.

Match the mode to the document

Use Lossless structural mode for text-heavy reports and forms. For scans or photo-heavy PDFs, Balanced or Light may provide more visible savings.

Do not promise a fixed attachment size

PrivyPDF reports the result rather than claiming that every PDF will fit a particular email limit. If it is still too large, split the document or use an approved file-sharing workflow.

Review before sending

Open the output, check small text, and confirm that signatures, forms, and links still work when those features matter.
