CompressPDFs
CompressPDFs is a macOS utility designed to reduce PDF file sizes while maintaining acceptable quality. It's used by professionals, students, and everyday users who need to send or store large PDF documents more efficiently. The app simplifies the compression process through a straightforward interface, allowing batch processing of multiple PDFs. It's particularly useful for users working with scanned documents, forms, or high-resolution PDFs that consume excessive disk space. CompressPDFs version 3.1.6 is an Intel-only application that runs on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2 emulation.

1 suggestionNo native Apple Silicon version of CompressPDFs (3.1.6) could be found, and the search results provided no information about the developer's plans or active maintenance status. Given the lack of evidence that the app is actively maintained or that a native version is in development, you should consider alternatives. For PDF compression on Apple Silicon Macs, macOS includes built-in compression via Preview (File → Export as PDF with Quartz Filter options), which is free and natively supported. For more advanced PDF manipulation and compression, consider PDF Squeezer 4, which offers native Apple Silicon support and professional-grade compression controls. You can also explore Preview's native capabilities first, as they may meet your needs without requiring a third-party app.
