Which compression level should I choose?

Recommended is suitable for most documents. Light preserves more visual detail, while Strong aims for a smaller file at the cost of some image quality.

Why can PDF compression results vary?

PDFs can contain text, vector graphics, photographs, scans, forms and other data. Files that are already optimized may not become significantly smaller.
