Frequently asked questions
Why does the text become unselectable?
To save space, each page is re-saved as an image. This gives strong size reduction but removes selectable text.
What if the file gets bigger?
Some PDFs are already optimised. In that case we tell you and keep your original.
Which level should I choose?
Start with Balanced. Use Strong when a portal has a strict size limit.
