There are a numerous ways to compress a PDF file. Different ways yield different results with

respect to compression size, image quality, etc.

1. http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ - This is the easiest way to reduce the size of

your PDF. Select the compression preset that you wish and make it compatible with

your version of Adobe Acrobat reader. Options vary from Low compression, high image

quality to High compression, low image quality. Click “choose file” and upload your PDF.

Then select “upload and compress.” Then download/save your compressed PDF to your

computer.

2. http://smallpdf.com/ - This is another fairly simple way to reduce the size of your PDF.

Simply drag and drop your PDF into the ‘compression box’ in the middle of the page.

After compression, the file will automatically download to your computer. Although

here, the compression percentage is not too much, i.e. this procedure is not good for

files larger than 20MB.

4. Another simple way to compress a (smaller sized) PDF is to print out all the pages, but with

more than one slide per page. Next, scan and upload those printed pages, and this will reduce

the size of your document. For example, if you print out 6 slides per page and then scan and

upload it as a PDF, then the size of your final document will be 6x smaller than your original PDF.

But this is only doable for PDFs that are relatively smaller.
