Question:
What does it mean to optimize a PDF? What can I do to optimize multiple PDFs in one shot?

Answer:
PDF optimization is the preparation of a PDF file to make it optimal for Internet use. In general, this means reducing the file size so that it can be uploaded without difficulty. It is common for people who work with PDFs on a regular basis to need to optimize files in large groups, and for that you have batch processing. This enables you to optimize PDFs in large batches, rather than one by one. One excellent tool for PDF optimization is PdfCompressor from CVISION.

Question:
Are there certain types of data that are processed better than others by automatic data capture tools? For example, is there any preference between numbers and letters, or barcodes, or checkboxes?

Answer:
There are definitely differences in the accuracy with which different types of data are processed, but the variation is not between numbers and letters, but rather handwritten and typed text, for example. Computer-printed text is always processed better, and certain types of fonts are read better than others. Barcode and checkbox recognition is a bit different, but can be used in combination with text characters in automatic forms. One of the most important factors affecting accuracy is the clarity of the text. One automatic data capture solution that combines all of the above capabilities in one software is Trapeze from CVISION.

Question:

What does OCR do for a PDF file? Does using an advanced OCR program really help you when working with the PDF?

Answer:

OCR definitely makes a huge difference in enabling you to work with documents that were previously simple images. For example, if you scan a document that contains text, a computer does not recognize the text until you use an OCR program. An advanced program can accurately identify all of the text characters, so that your document becomes text-searchable. One advanced OCR solution is Maestro Recognition Server from CVISION. Maestro combines high accuracy with speed and power, so that you can process all of your PDF files.

Question:

How does advanced compression of PDFs differ from other types of file compression?

Answer:

PDFs differ from other image files in several important ways, and this affects their compression. PDF files contain a great deal of information, which results in their large file size. However, they can conveniently be compressed without any information loss, which is not true for other types of image files such as JPEG. Advanced PDF compression provides high compression rates and high quality. One excellent PDF compression tool id PdfCompressor from CVISION, which can reach compression rates of up to 100x.
