Question

Compressing a PDF to smallest size changes layout

Hi,

I have a PDF doc that's only used online, it's 7.7mb and I want to compress it for easy email. 
if I compress using the app on medium setting it only reduces by 1mb. 
I selected the high compression and it reduced to 804kb which is perfect but it changed the format of my PDF. 
It seems to break each section into collapsible sections and places the images above rather than in the doc. 

Any ideas how I can reduce the size without the layout / format change? 

thanks

Ok, I just realised there's two ways to view the doc.

for some reason the really small compressed files opened up in a different view as default but it can be viewed as regular format. 
Thanks 🙂
