almost 7 years ago by Kostas Jonauskas
We’re excited to introduce the PDF Compress API. This new API endpoint allows you to significantly reduce the file size of PDF documents—by up to six times—without compromising quality, improving efficiency for storage and sharing.
Key Features:
- Up to 90% File Size Reduction: Compress PDFs significantly while maintaining visual fidelity.
- Advanced Image Recompression: Recompress images, including pre-compressed ones, to achieve smaller file sizes.
- Multiple Compression Presets: Choose from predefined presets like Text, Archive, Web, Ebook, and Printer, or customize settings to balance quality and size.
- Selective Content Removal: Remove unnecessary elements such as bookmarks, annotations, forms, embedded files, and metadata to streamline documents.
- Font and Vector Optimization: Subset embedded fonts and preserve vector graphics to keep text sharp and reduce file size.
- Web Optimization: Linearize PDFs for fast web viewing and optimize page content streams.
- Compliance and Security: Ensure compliance with ISO, GDPR, and HIPAA standards; files are encrypted during processing.
- Flexible Integration: Integrate easily using REST API or SDKs available for languages like JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, and Go.
