Welcome to the HP Community --

The easier method is to simply scan at a lower resolution.

Generally, given a decent quality of the original document,  when you scan at 72 dpi / 75 dpi, documents do well on most monitors and can be printed without an appreciable decline in quality.

What else?

Compress the final file using software meant to create a smaller package of the file.

Example - HP Smart - Windows - PDF Scan and Save

HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Document_Save_5

The following example is not a document -- the sample image does illustrate the difference in the results when scanning at different resolutions.

Regardless, the condition and density of the original content -- PDF or Image -- impacts the results.

Paint_Scan_300-600_DPI_2
