Bought PDF Squeezer

I noticed that I had a PDF file that was about 20 MB in size. It’s a few pages long with mostly text, so the file size seemed overly large. I tried to compress the PDF using the Mac’s Preview app, but the savings was neglible. I then tried Adobe Acrobat/Reader/whatever it’s called now, and the app said I had to pay for a different version to compress PDF.

That led me to PDF Squeezer. I did an online search for PDF compression and after a few articles, I saw someone mention this software. I did a sample test using the trial version and my 20 MB PDF shrank to 2 MB using the strong compression option! The compressed version looked a little too soft so I tried the light compression. The quality of this version looked good at 3.7 MB in size.

To save the compressed PDF however does require a paid for license. Luckily, there’s a 50% off special right now so the normal $20 cost is $10! That’s an easy buy for software that I can continually use.
