Question: Does the API support batch PDF compression? I have a folder of PDFs, I would like to process them and produce a single PDF for each one processed? I know I can loop through the folder and process one at a time but I’m not taking advantage of multi-threading. Can this be done and still be able to take advantage of the compressors multi-threading capability?

Answer: The multithreading is controlled at the command line. Then the appropriate flag is passed multithreading will kick in. The flag for multi-threading is “-mt”. Please add that flag to the command line and that should fix the problem.

Question: While creating PDFs using CVISION’s PdfCompressor software I noticed a file called “Thumb.db” appeared. I was wondering what this file was and how it was created? Can it be safely deleted?

Answer: PdfCompressor is designed to convert and create PDF, TIFF, and JPEG files into compressed, web-optimized and text-searchable PDF files. Thumb.db is created by windows in order to cache the thumbnails of images in that particular folder. These files can in fact be deleted safely.

If you want to disable the files from being created, you can accomplish this by opening an explorer window by clicking: Tools->Folder Options->View->and select “Do not cache thumbnails”

Question: Recently, I have scanned many color documents. When I see it on the computer, the color quality is good. However, once I print them, they come out blurry? Is that supposed to happen?

Answer: No, that is not supposed to happen. PdfCompressor’s specialty is compression of scanned color documents. We can compress the size of scanned color documents up to 100x smaller while maintaining file quality. The PdfCompressor with the same file generates an intelligent scanned image document with an embedded OCR layer and full text searchability. The most likely reason for the blurriness is that the PdfCompressor uses state-of-the art technology; however, most printers do not have the latest technology. The remedy for this is to consistently update your printer with newest technology.
