file size
Compress PDF to 20 MB
Some upload systems apply a 20 MB file-size limit, and a PDF above that threshold may be rejected even when every page is required. TenderPDF connects this task to the working compress pdf engine, so large-document users can complete the job without installing desktop software. Start with light compression, then increase only if the file remains over the target threshold.

A workflow designed for this task
Some upload systems apply a 20 MB file-size limit, and a PDF above that threshold may be rejected even when every page is required. This page takes you directly into the relevant TenderPDF workflow and keeps the instructions focused on compress pdf to 20 mb, rather than presenting a generic list of tools.
Prepare the source document
Start with light compression, then increase only if the file remains over the target threshold. Check page orientation, readability, file restrictions, signatures, and required supporting documents before processing. Keep an untouched copy of the original file.
Review before you use the output
TenderPDF will attempt to reduce the file toward 20 MB while preserving readable quality; an exact target cannot be guaranteed for every document. Results depend on the source document, its fonts, scans, images, and structure. Open the downloaded file and verify every important page before sending, signing, or uploading it.

Frequently asked questions
Can TenderPDF guarantee a PDF of exactly 20 MB?
TenderPDF attempts to move the file toward 20 MB, but an exact final size cannot be guaranteed. Image-heavy scans may need stronger compression, page removal, or rescanning.
Will the result always look exactly like the source?
Not every source behaves the same. Scans, unusual fonts, complex tables, and image-heavy pages may need OCR or manual review, so always inspect the downloaded result.
What should I do with a scanned document?
Use the OCR or scanner-cleanup workflow when the document contains photographed or scanned text, then return to the required tool if further processing is needed.
