Frequently Asked Questions
For text-based resumes: yes. Use Medium or High compression. If it contains high-res embedded images, try removing or reducing those images before compressing.
Medium compression works well for most documents. If the output is still over 200 KB, switch to High compression.
Scanned pages are images inside a PDF. High compression will noticeably reduce their visual sharpness, so test Medium first.
The original scan or images may be too high-resolution. Consider re-scanning at 150 DPI (instead of 300+) for a much smaller starting file.
