There are two options to reduce the file size of your PDF downloads out of Dashpivot:
Use a free online compression tool
Consider increasing the number of photos per page
Online Compression Tool
PDF Compression tools are available online for free (example: Adobe). You can drag and drop to upload your PDF downloads and reduce their size. Once compressed, the file(s) will be simpler to work with, store, and share.
Adjusting photos per page
You have the option to include those photos at the back of the PDF in one of the following arrangements:
None
1 photo per page (includes meta data such as date stamp, GPS location, etc)
2 photos per page
4 photos per page
6 photos per page
8 photos per page
10 photos per page
The default setting is '1 photo per page'
You can access and change this setting via the template editor:
Click Edit Template
Click Settings
Scroll down to the setting called 'Photos per page in PDF downloads'
Select the number of photos you want to include per page at the back of the PDF downloads.
Save the Template for the settings to take effect.
Note: this setting affects all forms regardless of the template version they were created with.
