You can reduce the size of a PDF file by compressing bitmaps, text, and line art. Select options for bitmap compression which includes JPEG, LZW, and ZIP. Bitmaps that use JPEG compression have a quality scale ranging from 2 (high quality, less compression) to 255 (lower quality, more compression). The higher the image quality, the larger is the file size.

To compress bitmaps, choose one of the following from the Compression type None, LZW, JPEG, JP2, ZIP.

To compress text and line art, enable the Compress text and line art check box.
You can also down-sample color, gray scale, or monochrome images or convert complex fills to bitmaps.
