After that save the file and your file will be reduced!
Yes, but make sure to open the resulting pdf afterwards and check that your photos still look ok! In my experience, the quartz filter compresses images so drastically that the document is no longer acceptable. I had to learn to make my own quartz filter, which seems a bit ridiculous on a Mac where things are supposed to "just work"

But first! Make sure you aren't including too much evidence in your pdf file. The SMC application only asks for 6 photos to prove your partnership. Financial statements likely only need the first page showing your names, address, and account details. You do not need a GIANT document. This is your first step to help get you under 10MB.
