Compress PDF - Make PDF Smaller

Although you have to wait 30-60 min to compress a file if you don’t pay the app, it still does a great job compressing the file. I had such a hard time to email a large pdf file until this app compressed it for me. I don’t mind the wait. Thank you

I downloaded two apps, this app 1st. You have 2 options, wait 60-90 minutes for the compressed file to be returned to you, or pay $4.99 to get it within minutes. I paid the $4.99 because the other option is ridiculous. Then your file is uploaded somewhere, you wait a few minutes while it uploads with a message that says don’t close this app while uploading. After uploaded, you get a compressed file back in less than a minute but it was too compressed with horrible quality. Looked like a really blurry fax. No settings, no adjustments, just a smaller file. So I downloaded the 2nd app from someone else, which I had to buy at the same price of $4.99 (so I wasted the price of a coffee). I liked it sooooooo much better. It was faster, didn’t leave my device, and I had full control over 5 dpi settings and an image quality adjustment slider. The 1st try didn’t compress it enough so I lowered the quality a little and did it again which worked out great. Basically, keep looking because I was not happy with this app at all.

Use this app and you’ll be presented with a message telling you that your pdf will take 60-90 minutes, but if you agree to pay ($9.99) it’ll happen straight away. This is ransomware. They don’t tell you this in the app description, which they should. The proposition that it saves me CPU time is dishonest: if it used my CPU I wouldn’t need their server time. In the description, devs claim compression won’t degrade quality: yet it does. Images are frequently so compressed they become jaggies. Frustrating lack of control. Better still, Apple should provide image compression options in its “print to pdf” function so that we don’t create massive pdf’s that need this app.

I needed to compress a large file down small enough to mail myself to get it on an older iPod Touch. It dropped the original from about 38mb to under 2. What more could I ask. Thanks!

I needed two music PDFs compressed and didn’t want to wait the 60-90 minutes, so paid the $9.99 for “immediate” compression. It still took quite a few minutes with no progress indicator, and when they finally compressed, they looked like s***. Totally unusable as sheet music. Lines missing, notes blurred. Total waste of money. The description says that the quality of the PDF is not lost, but this is simply not true.
