Free PDF compression

New Here ,
Mar 16, 2025 Mar 16, 2025

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=...

 

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.

Hi @Mike_Harvey

 

Thanks for reaching out. Adobe doesn't offer free compression of PDF files online or offline. 

Wait for more inputs from experts in the Community.
