I have been trying to reduce file size, using the File > Reduce File Size... but my files end up LARGER. I just tried to reduce one that was 15mb and when it saved it was 19mb. How is that possible?

Hi,

 

Hope you are doing well.

 

The PDF file that you have been trying to reduce the size, is it saved locally on your computer or online? If its online, then open with Acrobat and just Save As.

If not, then would you mind trying with a different file?

Also, have you tried to use the advanced optimization settings to get the best size reduction for the quality you want to maintain? 

 

For the detailed steps of how to Optimize PDF, please refer to this help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/optimizing-pdfs-acrobat-pro.html 

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
