What is Compress a PDF to 200KB?

TL;DR: Set 200 KB as the target on the PDF tab; Shrink44 aggressively lowers DPI / quality until the PDF fits under 200KB — best for single-page scanned forms.

Some government and exam portals demand PDFs under 200KB — a tight limit best suited to short, single-page documents. Shrink44 reaches it by aggressively re-rendering pages at low DPI.

For multi-page documents, consider splitting or removing pages first; 200KB is a small budget to spread across many pages.
