- macmost.com/e-2070 When you scan in documents with your iPhone or other device you sometimes end up with files too large to store or send in an email. You can easily compress a PDF using the Preview app on your Mac. However, the default compression setting is too high for most uses. Learn how to customize the compression with your own quartz filter and then use it in Preview or turn it into a Quick Action using Automator for one-step PDF compression.

Thank you! You do not understand how helpful this video was to me. I was scrambling around, trying to find out how to compress my pdf for an assignment, and luckily I clicked on your video. Your instructions were exactly what I needed. Thanks again, Gary!
This is the best video I have ever found on youtube. Went through whole bunch of crappy blogs and articles and all of them were of no use. Thank you for sharing this.
OMG you literally saved me. My assignment hand-in date is today and my file was WAY too to upload big, and the default quartz filter didn't compress the file enough even though it ruined the image quality. This was perfect; short sweet and just what I needed. Thank you so much!
I was struggling earlier to compress PDF for year using different tools each time. Thank you for a very informative video. This information you shared should be spread to everyone.
Gary, thank you. This information is beneficial! I really love how you explain the step-by-step instruction, so that perform the tasks on my Mac is flawless
I rarely comment or add thumbs up or down. I just watch and learn or laugh or whatever I'm watching and the reaction that comes after. You have answered soooo much for me in this. You have no idea. While I was almost about to spend money on a PDF app of some sort, you saved me money and gave me knowledge about my mac. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You never cease to amaze me… Thanks, Gary

Very nice and easy way to teach this feature!! I thank you so much
Thanks so much! Needed a quick fix for uploading a coloring book to Etsy, worked perfectly!
Thank you sooo much. It was of so much help to me.
Thank you! I found that if I do the compression your way on MacOS Catalina, the new file was the same file size as the original. By going back into ColorSync Utility and comparing it to the settings of the original "Reduce File Size," there is a second setting that needed to be added called "Color Image Sampling." By adding Color Image Sampling to my own "Reduce PDF File Size Better" using the same settings as the original, my PDF's now can be compressed. 🙌🏼
Noting too that in ColorSync Utility, opposite side of the Reduce File Size, select the dropdown arrow and select the Duplicate Filter option, you can then simply adjust the quality and be done. Then automate if you choose to.
Thanks this was so helpful!
Very helpful, thank you for this content.
