FILE TOOL
A lighter copy of the pages.
The result is a flattened image PDF. Searchable text, links, forms, annotations, attachments and metadata are removed.
A LITTLE MORE DETAIL
A smaller, flattened copy for sending and viewing.
Each page is rendered locally and placed into a new image-only PDF. This often helps scanned or image-heavy documents, while making the tradeoff explicit.

Questions, answered.
Will text remain searchable?
No. Pages are flattened into images, so searchable text and selection are removed.
Are links and forms retained?
No. Links, forms, annotations, attachments, actions and metadata are not copied.
Can the result be larger?
Yes. Already optimized or text-only PDFs may not benefit; the page shows both sizes before download.
