Frequently asked questions
How much can I reduce the PDF file size?
Typically 50-80% reduction depending on the content. PDFs with many images see the biggest savings.
Does compression affect text quality?
Text is re-rendered as images during compression. For text-heavy documents, use a higher quality setting.
