How to reduce file size without breaking readability, signatures, or chart quality.

Compression should start with intent, not presets. Decide whether your target is email deliverability, portal limits, or archival efficiency.
Always validate high-risk zones after compression: signatures, small labels, and data-dense charts.
For recurring team workflows, define one standard compression profile and a clear exception process for quality-sensitive documents.
Use an archive-plus-distribution model: keep source quality internally, share optimized outputs externally.
