Question:
I’m a little bit overwhelmed by the number of products available online for PDF image processing. What types of functions does this involve, and how do I know what’s right for me? What are some basic things that I might need to do with PDF images?
Answer:
The answer to this really depends on the type of work you do with PDFs, but I can help you get a better understanding of your options by explaining some tools that are always helpful with PDF files. First of all, PDFs can be very large, and many people complain about the amount of time required for uploading. If you post PDFs online or email them to others, you might need a PDF compressor to reduce the file size and make them compatible with online activities. Another useful tool is OCR, or Optical Character Recognition. This is important if your PDF files contain text in addition to images. OCR can identify the text characters within PDFs, making them text-searchable. To try out a program that can help you with both of these functions, you can download a free trial version of CVISION’s PdfCompressor.
