Question: I am interesting in compressing my scanned PDF files for the web, please advise of the best solution.

Answer: PdfCompressor is an ideal solution for compressing PDF for the web and web-optimization: If files are large, its unlikely that someone specifically wants to view the first page of the document. More than likely, they want to get to some page in the middle of the document. Web-optimization is a feature that allows a document viewer to view any page in an arbitrarily large document in constant time (e.g., 1-2 seconds), requesting from the server than it jump to the byte boundary where the file page starts. This allows for efficient web browsing of a file. PDF format has native support for web-optimization.

Our PdfCompressor helps convert PDF, TIFF, and JPEG files into compressed, web-optimized, and text searchable PDF files. The PdfCompressor reduces PDF file size of scanned color PDFs up to 1/100th of the size, and reduces scanned black & white PDFs up to 1/10th of the size. We can also reduce electronic PDFs which may require a tweaking in the setting and using the Rasterization mode opposed to the Stream mode. Please have in mind you can always submit the file to us for examining. We will return the compressed file along with the utilized settings.

The PDF file reduction is completed while maintaining file quality; however there are various types of files out there, the standard setting of PdfCompressor usually works well to compress them, and to optimize them on the web. However, some other files may require tweaking those setting to achieve better PDF file reduction results.
