How to minimize pdf file size on mac without losing quality?
I need to reduce the file size of a few PDFs on my Mac, but I'm struggling to find a method that actually keeps the text sharp and images clear. Most tools I've tried either barely shrink the file or noticeably degrade the quality.
Here's my situation:
- Working on macOS (latest version)
- PDFs contain a mix of text, vector graphics, and some scanned images
- Need to email these, so looking to cut size significantly (ideally 50%+)
- Quality is important — text must stay crisp and readable
Is there any good way to let me minimize pdf file size on mac without losing quality? Would love to hear what workflow actually works for you in practice.
