If your document contains many high-resolution images or annotations, you can reduce its file size to send, share, store, or archive more easily. PDFpen includes several ways to reduce a document’s file size. Depending on your document, you may use all or only a few of these options for reducing the size of your PDF files.

(Advanced feature of PDFpenPro)

Selecting Part of a Page Choose the Select Rectangle Tool from the Editing bar (Command+4). Click and drag over a portion of the document. This area can contain text or images. Drag at the side or corner of the selection box to resize it. The dimensions of the box are given along each side. Select which units are used in Preferences > Editing > Measurement units. (User Preferences). Move the mouse inside the box and the cursor turns into a Hand move tool. Use this to reposition the selection box on the page. Once this area is selected, it can be copied and pasted to another page or to another PDF document. It can also be used to crop the page or to create a new PDF document.
