Compress Financial Times Recipe

[duhduhduh]

I am currently using the FT (International) printed edition and it often fetches in size above 50mb.

1. I have used the following codes, but the file sizes remain the same.

    useHighResImages = False
    compress_news_images = True
    compress_news_images_auto_size = 5
    scale_news_images_to_device = True

2. I will also like to know how to remove certain sections to reduce the file size?
Here's a link to the recipe.

Did I place it wrongly?
