PDF Compression

This tool provides automated PDF compression aimed at reducing file size while preserving readability. It serves knowledge workers, educators, publishers, developers, and operations teams who need smaller documents for sharing or storage. Typical use cases include sending reports by email, distributing catalogs, or integrating compression into batch pipelines.
\nConceptually, the tool analyzes the PDF data model and applies selective downsampling, image recompression, font subsetting, and metadata removal. It supports adjustable compression levels and target DPI, enabling tradeoffs between visual quality and size. Output includes the compressed file, original and final sizes, and a compression ratio.
\nWho benefits include engineers sharing specifications, students and educators, HR teams exporting policies, and developers embedding compression in document workflows. The tool stands out with domain-aware defaults, per-object decisions, and transparent size reporting without altering core semantics. It is suitable for both single-file compressions and batch processing in ETL-style workflows.
\nCore features include image downsampling, font subsetting, metadata removal, optional object stream optimization, and a detailed size estimate. Use cases span reports, manuals, ebooks, and forms. The tool aims to preserve accessibility where feasible and provides safe fallbacks if over-compression could degrade critical visuals.
