How to sanitize pdf adobe acrobat without increasing the size of the file?

Hi,

I've been experience this particular problem, it seems that every time I sanitized a PDF the size increased from 4MG to 44.5MG. I'm sanitizing the pdf directly from Adobe Acrobat.


Does someone knows a better way to sanitized a pdf without increasing the size (no more than 10MG max.)?

Please comment if you have a solution.

It might be that the sanitizer is rasterizing parts of the document that has transparency or other overlays. Can you share an example file?

Thanks you replying my message.

The reason why sanitizing the pdf still falling is because every time I try to upload the pdf file into a platform the message I'm getting is that my pdf contains encrypted data or active content. The sanitize action increases the size of the pdf.

I could share with you this pdf if you want to have a look. Please send me your email address through a private message.
