Why is my PDF still larger than 2MB after compression?
If your PDF remains larger than 2MB after compression, it likely contains high-resolution images, embedded fonts, or complex vector graphics that resist further reduction. Try selecting the High compression level in PDNob for a more aggressive reduction. For scanned documents, re-scanning at 150–200 DPI before compression can also help achieve a file size under 2MB.
What compression level should I use to get my PDF under 2MB?
For PDFs under 5MB, Medium compression usually brings the file under 2MB with minimal quality loss. For larger PDFs or those with many images, select High compression. If your original PDF is text-only, even Low compression can effectively reduce it to under 2MB. PDNob gives you three compression levels — Low, Medium, and High — so you can choose the best balance of size and quality.
