A three-step Resize PDF checklist
- Before: Keep the source file and open it once to confirm that it is not damaged.
- During: Review every setting shown for Resize PDF instead of accepting a value you do not understand.
- After: Open the result and check it against the points above before you rely on it or delete the original.
