Reducing the file size of a pdf on a Macbook

After downloading a Google Doc as a pdf or downloading a pdf from a website, the file size of the resulting pdf may be quite large. That could make it difficult to upload your pdf to a website, distribute it through email or even print it.

To reduce the size file size of your pdf, you can use the default pdf application on your Macbook called Preview.

Open the downloaded pdf in the Preview app:

  • Click File > Export
    • In the Quartz Filter drop down menu, select Reduce File Size
  • Save
