Scanned PDF questions
Why are scanned PDFs so large?
A scanned PDF often stores each page as a large image. Compression reduces image weight, but readability must be checked.
Will text remain selectable?
If the source is only a scan, text may not be selectable already. Compression focuses on reducing the document weight.
Should I resize images before creating the PDF?
If you still have the original photos, resizing or cropping them first can produce a lighter PDF.
