Why this PDF File So Big?

Question

Hi All,

I received a 2,000-page PDF file, but I only need 30 of those pages. I tested deleting all the other pages, leaving just one page, but the file size is still 250MB. I need to understand the reason and inform the other party how to resolve this issue.
I have already deleted all unnecessary content and uploaded the file to Google Drive (with only one page remaining). Thank you for your help.

check PDF file (250MB)

Hi @lawwe_7051,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

I checked the file you shared, and it appears to be something created or edited using a different third-party application, not Adobe Acrobat.

We cannot comment on how other applications behave or process files to produce the desired result.

If you have a question related to Acrobat, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll be more than happy to assist you.

Regards,
Souvik.
