Questions
What is the difference between light and strong?
Light keeps everything (text stays selectable) and removes waste. Strong turns each page into a compressed picture — much smaller, but you can’t select text.
My form needs a PDF under 200 KB — what should I use?
Strong compression, at the lower quality.
Is it private?
Yes — the PDF is compressed on your device.
