I need to shrink a PDF quickly before uploading it to a portal with a 10 MB limit. Any tips for reducing the file size without making it unreadable?

Had the same thing last month with one of my checklist pdfs. tbh i opened it in word and saved it as pdf again, that dropped the size a bunch without making text unreadable. if it has lots of images try printing to pdf from your web browser, that worked for me too.
