WhatsApp PDF size questions

Why did WhatsApp block my PDF?

The app rejects files over its send limit. Compressing lowers the file size so the same document can go through as a document, not a pile of photos.

Will the text turn blurry?

Heavy shrinking can soften photos inside the PDF. Start with a moderate compress and open the result before you send it. For a form, readable text matters more than a tiny file.
