Compress PDF site reports so mobile uploads finish before the elevator loses signal

Photo-heavy punch lists exceed LTE uplink caps—rebuild structure before syncing to the document controller.
Superintendents photograph deficiencies, annotate screenshots, and export daily logs as PDF from field apps. Those exports balloon when every image stays at full camera resolution. Upload queues stall in parking garages and delay RFIs. Compressing rebuilds object streams for typical office-style PDFs and often shrinks multi-megabyte attachments enough to clear corporate email gateways.
Keep an archival original when legally required
Some jurisdictions expect native resolution photos for warranty disputes—store RAW exports internally and share compressed derivatives externally.
