The short answer
500 KB is a common limit for supporting documents, and some bank recruitment notices ask for exactly that. Add your PDF with the target set to 500 KB, and the tool shrinks the scanned pictures until it fits, keeping the text readable where it can.

Frequently asked questions
Does the IBPS notice ask for a PDF under 500 KB?
The IBPS PO/MT-XVI notification says scanned documents must be saved as PDF and be not more than 500 KB, so this page is made for that. Other recruitments have their own limits.
How many pages can fit in 500 KB?
It depends on the scan, but about three to five pages of an ordinary phone scan fit. More pages need stronger compression.
