Compressing PDF Documents For Faster Display And Easier Storage

The PDF format is the go-to medium for document exchange around the world, whether it’s on a PC, phone, or tablet. But if the original author of a PDF isn’t careful when creating it, a PDF’s file size can quickly balloon. Many PDFs suffer from this condition of bloated file size, and are far bigger than they need to be. This presents huge problems in terms of storage, transmission, and shareability of such content for users, companies, and websites.

Bloated PDF documents take a long time to display, especially when viewed online or through a network, and they take a lot of processing power, as well. At a time when most content creators want their documents to be mobile-friendly, bloated PDFs can take an unacceptably long time to download to mobile devices, and can tax mobile devices’ processing power when displayed. Corporate repositories overflow their available storage space when thousands or millions of stored PDF files are bigger than they need to be.
