Question:
Is there something different about the formatting of PDF images that are posted online, when compared to other PDF images?
Answer:
The PDF files that are posted online are just regular PDF files that have been Web-optimized. When you post an image online in PDF format, you don’t want the file to be too large, or it will slow the computer down significantly and take a very long time to load. For this reason, you can optimize the file for online use by reducing the file size. This process is called PDF compression. You can compress images in PDF format with only a minimal decrease in image quality, but you gain a lot by doing it. One great tool for compressing PDF files is PdfCompressor, which can reduce the file size by 10x-100x.
