How to reduce size of PDF file on Mac

I had some PDF files which were over 14MB in size and I needed a way to reduce the size to upload them to a web site that had a limit of 10MB. I thought this would be an very easy and I would have some option to save the PDF with reduced quality to reduce the size of the file. But I could not find any option on my Mac and found it even more frustrating in Windows 10. One solution I though of, which works is:

  1. Open PDF file in Preview.
  2. From the 'File' menu select 'Export'.
  3. Export the file as a JPEG, this will save the file with a small file size.
  4. Open the JPEG in Preview and then from the 'File' menu option select 'Export as PDF'.

Google Nexus Sim Card Size

I own a Nexus 4 phone and have come across a great phone deal and have decided to change, but when ordering needed to know which type of SIM card I needed. A brief search on net answered my question, the Nexus 4 takes a micro SIM card.

It seems the difference between a normal SIM card, micro SIM card and nano SIM card is just the size, there is no functional difference, so I ask the question why did they just not manufacture nano SIM cards from the start?
