Details and common questions
Which files are supported?
One PDF.
What result will I receive?
One visually compressed PDF.
What should I know before using it?
- Compression flattens searchable text, links, forms, and existing interactive annotations.
- Results depend on the source; already optimized PDFs may not become much smaller.
- This is visual compression, not lossless object optimization.
Will text remain selectable?
No. The current compression method rebuilds pages as images and therefore flattens selectable content.
Which quality should I choose?
Balanced is a practical starting point; use High for small text and Smallest when file size matters most.
