File Size of Document Scans on Notes App Does anyone have a suggestion for decreasing the size of documents scanned via Notes app? I have 10-15 page documents whose PDF size is 30-60MB and can't upload to some websites because they're too large. I don't have Adobe Acrobat Pro, etc. Is there a way to decrease the size as you're scanning the document?

When I use the Notes app to scan documents, the resulting PDF files are significantly larger after iOS 18 update Dear Apple Support, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to report an issue I have encountered after updating to iOS 18. When I use the Notes app to scan documents, the resulting PDF files are significantly larger compared to when I used the same feature in iOS 17. This change in file size has become problematic, as the large PDFs take up more storage space and are harder to share. In iOS 17, the PDF files were more manageable in size, but since upgrading to iOS 18, the same types of scans now produce files that are unnecessarily large. I believe this may be related to changes in file compression or scan quality in the new version. Could you please look into this issue and provide a fix or an option to control the file size and compression quality when scanning documents in the Notes app? I would appreciate any assistance or updates regarding this matter. Thank you for your time and support. Best regards, [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Scan document size in Notes IOS 18.1.1 Does anyone know if I can change the file size of scanned images in the notes app under IOS 18.1.1? I run my own business and use the Scan documents function in notes to scan all my receipts, then email them to myself as a pdf to save in my accounting system. This has worked fine for years and a typical receipt takes about 150kb of space which is fine. My iPhone 14 updated overnight to IOS18.1.1 When I scanned a receipt this morning it was 4mb, which is far bigger than a photo. I just experimented and took a photo of the receipt, then cropped it and emailed to myslef and it was 920kb. In then end I took a screen grab of the scanned image, dropped it in a Word doc, printed to pdf and got a 150kb pdf doc. This is so many extra steps. What was a great tool on my iPhone is now useless to me, due to space that will be taken up by the stored docs. Does any one have any solutions. If not I will have to search out a scan App to download and use instead.
