I compressed a PDF (See attached sample file) but the result is not in A4 format. How can I change the format to A4? The recipient requires A4 to process my request.

Was the document A4 before compressing? If so try File> Save as other> Optimized pdf. If not, you will need to re-size the pdf using a preflight profile, See this related discussion:

Note, printing to pdf will convert your pdf to an image, which is not best practice, but might be ok for some purposes.
