You are a hero! I tried PDFgear and it works great I had a 2.2Gb pdf file and it compressed it to 22Mb on medium compression and 60Mb on low compression and without much loss in quality

The employee looks at it, uploads a PDF with company data, and we have a new data leak from the company.

Thanks Kevin! That is awesome. Have you heard of Desktop Coral. Pretty handy to reserve an area of the desktop for a toolbar or something like that. I wonder if you know of other utilities that do the same thing. Desktop Coral is a bit buggy. Thanks!

Just what I needed today. Is it easy to open? The one I use now is hard for them to open.

What is the business model for these free tools? And is there a future KCC video about how to judge between legitimate and sketchy online tool sites?

When you compress what are you actually losing? I mean does it degrade the images? Does it lessen the sharpness of the text?

[johnnyc.]

No, just no. I don't upload my pdf's to any service. Apparently you're not concerned about various websites saving your data?

[grantyokley]

what do you guys do when attaching big documents to grok and chat gpt. I attached an 800 page doc to grok and it worked 1 day (could word for word tell me what happened on any page), but now it cant do it

[ricardob]

[edensolomon]

[fridayjohn]

The pdf gear app does it require internet

A tech expert is needed to solve my update issue. I installed Windows 11 on an unsupported PC and joined the Windows Insider Program (Dev Channel) to get new updates and features, but I can't update it. It shows that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are not available on my PC. I've tried multiple times to bypass this but failed each time. I changed the registry settings and ran various commands, but nothing worked. Can someone please help me update my Insider build version to 24H2

Please don’t use term “quality” in comparison to how you think it looks.

Quality is so much more than how it looks on a screen, especially when also needing to print it later.
Obviously quality is compromised when shrinking the size.
