Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

True - one side effect of a higher DPI / resolution scan setting is a larger file size.

 

Use an app to reduce the size of the sized PDF file.

 

For example...

Thank you so much @Dragon-Fur.  I was thrilled as I read your comment!

first, the file is actually tax documents to upload to a website.  And I’m somewhat nervous having in my phone, so I’m not sure I want to use another app.  

I did as you mentioned in adobe but unfortunately it says I have to subscribe to be able to edit.  😞 don’t want to get stuck paying $70 for app I rarely ever use. 

Yesterday I do some “compressing” of file with a some “shortcut”  but every time I did it still showed the same size file, but changed the name of file with 1, 2 etc showing it did recreate a file.  
I can’t believe this is so difficult to do.  I had hoped maybe I could edit it on HO SMART, go to save and it would ask  me again what size I would like to save it.  😞  nope.  
I appreciate any more suggestions you may have 

thank you

You are welcome.

 

I was not aware that Adobe Acrobat Reader for iOS  is no longer free and / or it won't do the job.

Disappointing.

Excerpted

To get more out of your PDFs directly on your iPhone, download the Adobe Acrobat Reader for iOS. This app transforms your iPhone into a serious PDF editor. With Acrobat Reader, you can compress and reorganize PDFs, add comments and annotations, and create or request digital signatures — all on your iPhone while you’re on the move.
