Seeking Advice on Reducing PDF File Size Without Compromising Image Quality

Hey everyone,

I have a few AI files that I converted to PDFs, but they turned out larger than expected. I tried reducing their size using the "Reduce Size" option under the Document tab, but it compromised the image quality.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to reduce PDF file size without losing image quality? Your tips would be greatly appreciated!

Here's the link to the file in question

Thanks in advance!

File> Save as other> optimized pdf, Select all of the  discard and clean up options, this will usually reduce the file size somewhat. By not selecting to down sample the images, image quality should be preserved, if you need to reduce size more, you can select the amount and type of compression to apply to the images.  Do not unembed the fonts.
