Hp Smart scan no longer has compression button, how do I shrink the extremely large files now?

[Immortalknight]

The app used to have a compression button that would help keep the file size down. They removed it a while back and I can not find a workaround anywhere it's like no one even noticed but I do with my scan output. I work as a notary and deal with scans more than most people. My companies can send me 100+ page files at 3 megabytes, I scan the same file pages back and at 150dpi the files are 30 MB, huge in comparison. How can I get the file size down without that button now? Lowering the DPI to 75 makes the papers look bad.
