Compress means make a file smaller so it is easier to email or upload. You choose how much to shrink. Bigger shrink = smaller file, but photos may look a bit softer. Tip: Image-heavy PDFs shrink the most.
Start with a medium setting and check the new file size. Increase compression only if email or upload limits still reject the file. Text-heavy PDFs shrink less than photo-heavy scans.
