Questions
Frequently asked
Can I compress a PDF to under 5 MB on Mac?
Choose Make Under → 5 MB. For a form that requires strictly less than 5 MB, use Custom Value… and enter 4.8 MB to leave a little room.
Does compression make the PDF unsearchable?
NeatClick preserves text and vector content where possible instead of flattening every page into an image.
Are PDFs sent to a server?
No. PDF processing runs locally on your Mac.
