Use cases

Comprehensive image optimization

Reduce file size significantly by optimizing image objects through configurable compression settings. Define thresholds for downsampling, adjust resolution, and select optimal compression algorithms for bitonal, indexed, or continuous images. Advanced options include mixed raster content (MRC) optimization and color management.

Efficient font optimization

Streamline font handling by subsetting font programs to include only used glyphs, merging compatible fonts, and compressing Type 1 fonts to CFF. Remove unnecessary font programs to reduce file size while preserving document appearance and readability.

Content and structure streamlining

Minimize file size and enhance performance by removing redundant objects, such as embedded fonts, alternative images, or metadata. Automatically optimize page content and remove unnecessary elements like unused resources, form fields, and annotations.

Configurable compression profiles

Tailor optimization settings to meet specific target requirements, such as electronic document exchange, archiving, or printing. Adjust output characteristics using profiles designed to address unique workflow needs with precision.

Detailed reporting and PDF compatibility

Gain insights into your document’s structure with detailed logs, including font and image properties. Ensure compatibility by specifying a target PDF version, making documents suitable for specific applications or compliance requirements.

Email-friendly file compression

Improve document sharing with email-friendly compression. Boost download speeds and attachment compatibility while maintaining quality. Use intelligent algorithms to reduce file size and ensure efficient handling across platforms.
