Preview Constantly Crashes

Preview keeps crashing on me. Right now, I'm trying to reduce the file size, but it crashes for lots of reasons. I'm on MacOS 10.15.7, but this crashing started before I upgraded.


Any ideas of how to get Preview to stop crashing or an alternative way of reducing the file size of a pdf?

Greetings Mark,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems Preview is crashing unexpectedly on your Mac.


Test after using First Aid on the start up disk:


Repair a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac - Apple Support


"Disk Utility can fix certain disk problems—for example, multiple apps quit unexpectedly, a file is corrupted, an external device doesn’t work properly, or your computer won’t start up."


Kind regards.
