If power factor is increased, current will be reduced for a specific real power (kWs) relative to before.

Total power is real power plus the vector of reactive power (you have to do polar math). So total current = (current from real power) + (current from reactive power). By changing the power factor, you decrease the second quantity.

Go to Wikipedia.com and search for Power Factor if you need a more extensive description.
