Question: We need a PDF compression solution. A colleague had recommended your compression product, PdfCompressor. Our organization deals with scanned images that can be either color or black & white. The scanners output are either PDF or TIFF files. Do you offer a trial of the compression product?

Answer: Yes, we do offer a trial of PdfCompressor, I have attached it below. We do accept PDFs and TIFFs as input for compression. You said you have black & white files, as well as color files. For B&W files, we can achieve compression rates of 10% the original file size, for color documents, the compression rates are as much as 1% the original size.

Here is the link to a free trial for PdfCompressor:

Question: How can I get the software package to overwrite PDF files? For example, I want to compress the file test.pdf. I want the end result to just compress and then overwrite test.pdf with the test.cv.pdf file. The option tab to overwrite any existing files is grayed out for me.

Answer: Thank you for taking the time out to evaluate PdfCompressor. The feature that you have described is supported by PdfCompressor however, disabled in the evaluation version of the software. This is done as a security feature to make sure the evaluator does not lose the original page and replace it with the one from us with an Evaluation watermark. Please be assured that this feature is enabled in the full version of the software.

Question: I recently downloaded the trial version of CVISION’s PdfCompressor. I noticed that when I use it to compress files, it automatically adds a line of text on each page. Is there a way to disable this option?

Answer: Thank you for your inquiry to CVISION; we appreciate you taking the time out to evaluate our software. The watermark and footer appear only in the trial version of the software. When using the “Full version” neither the footer nor the watermark will be present. To disable the watermark you must have a purchased version of PdfCompressor.

Question: I need to reduce/compress the size of my scanned documents. Currently, they are PDFs; I want to keep them as PDFs, just make them smaller.

We can compress the size of scanned black & white documents up to 10X smaller, and color up to 100X smaller. PdfCompressor also makes the scanned files text-searchable with OCR.
