About PDF Boy — The Free Online PDF Reducer
PDF Boy: A Free Online PDF Reducer & PDF Tools Suite
PDF Boy is a free online PDF reducer built for one job: shrinking (or growing) a PDF to the exact size you need. Most PDF tools online only offer a vague "low / medium / high" quality slider — PDF Boy lets you type a real target, like 50KB or 2MB, and finds the best quality that fits. It's part of a growing set of PDF tools, all free, unlimited, and running entirely in your browser.
