Isn’t there any simple way to get a readable PDF of about 5MB or so ? So I tried to use various ways of saving (or exporting) as PDF from within Preview, but they all end up with the same oversized 39MB file… except for one : the “Reduced File Size” filter from the “Export” option gives me a 240kB file that turns out to be completely unreadable…

I know the probable cause, because some of the pages are entire A4-size pictures scanned as JPEG at 300dpi… What’s more, each time you perform a task, like compressing a file, this entire process is fully encrypted for full-scale security.I have created a PDF of 4 pages in the Preview app, but I can’t eMail it to anyone because it turns out to be a 39MB file… We’re GDPR compliant, undergo annual audits to earn our ISO/IEC certification, and carry advanced TLS encryption, which means that your data, personal information, and documents are safe with us.
