Some ways you can reduce the file size are:

  • Remove any unnecessary images in the document

  • If you need to keep the images within a file, this article can help Reduce the file size of a picture in Microsoft Office

  • If you are exporting a document to PDF, you should have an option to optimize the file size. Choose lower quality images for a smaller file size.
