#1 Reduce PDF File Size using Preview If you're someone who uses Apple software, you'd know about Preview. Preview is the in-built tool in Mac that you can use for accessing PDF Documents, Images etc. You can use Apple's Preview application to scan documents, but unless you adjust some settings the final file size may end up being very large.

Hello kwagarratt,
I understand that you would like to compress some PDF's that you have scanned in. I know that you would like to keep this simple so I do have a few suggestions for the App Store. Using an app should help keep this simple as well as a streamlined process. I did a search for compress PDF and came up with a few apps that you may want to try. Some do cost money so make your best judgement by reading over the reviews.

If you combine two or three PDF files together using preview, you can also end up with a bloated PDF file. The best way to reduce PDF file size is with Acrobat professional, which can do all sorts of magic on PDF files. Sadly we can't all afford Acrobat Professional, so here is a free way to make a PDF file smaller.
