How to Compress PDF for Email
Most email providers have attachment size limits between 10-25MB. Large PDF files from presentations, reports, and scanned documents often exceed these limits.
Compressing your PDF before emailing ensures it gets through email filters, loads faster for recipients, and does not fill up mailboxes with oversized attachments.
