What is PDF compression?

PDF compression refers to the process of reducing the size of a PDF document. The goal of this is to make the file smaller and easier to store, share, and transfer.

The importance of PDF compression

The importance of PDF compression lies in the fact that it allows users to reduce the size of large PDF files without sacrificing the quality of the document’s content. This can be particularly useful for PDFs that contain large images or other graphics, as well as for PDFs that are frequently sent via email or uploaded to the web. By reducing the file size, users can save time and bandwidth when sharing or uploading the document.

The preparation before PDF compression

Before compressing a PDF, it is important to prepare the file by making sure it is optimized for compression. This may involve removing any unnecessary elements, such as unused images or data, and compressing any existing images within the document. Additionally, it may be necessary to adjust the resolution and quality settings of any images within the PDF to ensure that the final file is as small as possible. Of course, all these steps can be perform in our Editor!
