How much smaller will it get?

Scanned documents and PDFs full of photos often shrink by 50-80%. Text-only PDFs are already small and may not change much.

Will the quality drop?

Images are re-compressed to about 150 DPI, which looks sharp on screens and prints fine for everyday documents.

It depends on the content. For scans, try it first; if it is still too big, split the PDF and send it in parts.

Compress PDF

Shrink a PDF so it fits email and upload limits. Scanned and image-heavy PDFs shrink the most.
