When the content flow in a document accounts for more than 90%, compressing the document can only compress a little. How can a large proportion of compression be achieved

Hi there,
Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.
If your document has mostly text and layout (more than 90%), it can be hard to make the file much smaller — because there's not much that can be compressed. But here are some ways you can still try to reduce the file size:
1. Shrink the Images:
If your file has pictures, you can make them smaller or lower the quality a bit. This helps a lot.
2. Reduce Font Size or Remove Extra Fonts:
Some PDFs have fonts saved inside them. You can remove the ones not being used or only keep the letters that appear in the file.
3. Flatten Layers:
If your file has layers (like from design software), flattening them into one layer can help make the file smaller.
4. Remove Extra Stuff:
Use File > Save as Other > Optimized PDF in Acrobat, and remove things like:
5. Print to PDF (only if needed):
You can “Print to PDF” to make a simple version of your file. Just remember, this will remove clickable links and form fields.
Hope this information will help
