Field notes
Target Size mode converts each page into a JPEG-backed image, then adjusts quality through binary search and reduces resolution if the chosen ceiling remains out of reach. That guarantees a hard upper bound but removes selectable and searchable text. A separate Lossless mode strips metadata and repacks the PDF structure, with the page estimating 5–25% savings while keeping text and image resolution intact.
