Not all file types, e.g. PDFs, can be more than minimally compressed.
The file is a 16 page password-protected PDF which, I guess, provides the answer….it can’t be further compressed.
However, not all is lost. I found that it is quite easy in the Mac to split a PDF, so that’s what I did, and sent two smaller PDFs. And, before Ira asks
, this is how easy it was:
1. Open the PDF with Preview.
2. Choose Thumbnail view to see all the pages in the left column.
3. Using Command-Click, select a group of pages.
4. Drag those to a folder or even just to the Desktop.
5. Using Command-Click, select the balance of the pages.
6. Drag those to the same place
Now you have two new PDFs, each comprised of half of the first.
Thanks for the tip on Keka….I’ll take a peek.
