Free PDF compression

Until very recently I have been able to compress PDF files using Adobe's online PDF compressor.

https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/acrobat/compress-pdf?x_api_client_id=adobe_com&x_api_client_location=compress_pdf

I am uncertain if this was included as part of my photography plan or a free to all service. However, this morning I tried to use it and was greeted with a "free trial" screen that offered a seven day trial followed by a subscription. Has Adobe removed this service, or am I missing something?

I've moved your post to the Acrobat forum where staff can confirm if it's free or not.

It works for me, but I have a paid plan. Can you try this site?

Hi Jane,

Thanks for replying. I am away from my PC at the moment, but following the link on my phone takes me to the attached screenshot. Previously I have been able to proceed past the opportunity to sign up and been able to upload and compress a file perfectly. I only do so about three times a year to send a newsletter I edit to online recipients so a subscription is not financially viable for me. Other free PDF compression services are available, but I prefer to stick with Adobe where possible.
