The essentials

Common sources of size are large bitmaps, repeated graphics, embedded fonts, layers and attached files. Simply opening and saving a document does not guarantee a smaller output; in some cases it increases the file size.

Practical steps

If you are creating a PDF from images, choose source resolution based on your use case. A screen-sharing copy may need less detail than professional print artwork, but avoid making small text unreadable.

What to double-check

SatrPDF does not advertise a fake one-click compression guarantee. Use a tool that describes what it compresses, then compare file size and readability before distributing the result.
