PDFCompressor-CL is a command line application based on our PDFCompressor component and serves to optimize and compress PDFs. Depending on the settings and content, PDF files can therefore be reduced many times over.

Features:

• Command line application.
• Compress PDF files many times depending on the initial situation and settings.
• Multithreading / parallel processing ensures high processing throughput
• Processes – PDF single files, lists of text files, folders, and entire folder structures.
• Configuration via user interface.
• Compression profiles (as XML) for managing the configuration settings (New, Copy, Rename, Delete, Import, Export (Single, All)
• Removed – unused pages, unused names, invalid bookmarks, invalid links, etc.
• ZIP compression of all PDF resources.
• Optimizing the color depth of images.
• Image Compression Change – Color, Grayscale, Black & White – LZW, RLE, JPEG, ZIP, JPEG-2000, TIFF Gr.4, JBIG-2.
• Reduce images – Convert images to new target resolution separately for color, grayscale, black & white configurable.
• Many setting options for JPEG, JPEG-2000, JBIG-2 compression
• Lossless and lossy compression on JPEG-2000 and JBIG-2 configurable
• Logging.

Based on the PDFCompressor component, PDFCompressor-FM is now available as a Windows service with folder tracking. Inbox folders are monitored and all newly added PDFs are processed and the optimized result is stored in the assigned outbox folder.

Features PDFCompressor-FM:MS-Windows service

• Several jobs can be created to monitor multiple inbox folders.
• Multithreading / parallel processing ensures high processing throughput
• Conversion profiles (as XML) to manage the configuration settings (New, Copy, Rename, Delete, Import, Export (Single, All)
• Compresses existing PDF files many times depending on the initial situation and settings.
• Removed – unused pages, unused names, invalid bookmarks, invalid links, etc.
• ZIP compression of all PDF resources.
• Optimizing the color depth of images.
• Image Compression Change – Color, Grayscale, Black & White – LZW, RLE, JPEG, ZIP, JPEG-2000, TIFF Gr.4, JBIG-2.
• Reduce images – Convert images to new target resolution separately for color, grascale, black & white configurable.
• Many setting options for JPEG, JPEG-2000, JBIG-2 compression
• Lossless and lossy compression on JPEG-2000 and JBIG-2 configurable
• Only the start folder or the whole subfolder structure can be processed.
• Folder contents can be deleted after processing or the folder structure can be preserved.
• Folder structure from the inbox folder can also be copied to the destination folder.
• File processing via Filter – Name, Extension, Created by / until, Modified from / to.
• Sorted processing by name / date and ascending / descending possible.
• Creation of a new file name via variable (date, time, counter, origin name / extension)
• Delete the original file (move), copy or create an archive copy
• Folder monitoring and processing start via file system events – immediately, or with an adjustable delay (0-999sec.), Or via time interval (in min.)
• Start processing at a set date / time with optional daily / weekly repetition.
• Adjustable number of retry attempts / time interval if a file should be blocked.
• Logging (All events, only the error events)

PDF is a document format that can contain a wide variety of elements – text, fonts, images, etc. During the creation and processing of PDF files, it can happen that the generated PDFs contain unnecessary elements or elements exist multiple times.

PDF offers some significant advantages over the previously used image formats TIFF and JPEG and is therefore increasingly being used in the business sector as a standard data format for images and document scans.

Especially in this area of application errors can already occur during the creation, whereby PDF files are generated, which are often much too large, if eg. too high a scan resolution or not the most suitable compression was configured. Also, it may be that first a higher resolution for z.b. OCR processing is required, but after the OCR processing for archiving, distribution or presentation on the screen a lower resolution and thus smaller file size would be sufficient.

It may make sense to unify all PDF files in the company in terms of compression and resolution in order to obtain a uniform standard for all received, processed and archived PDF documents, regardless of where the PDF files came from.

One of the main features of the PDFCompressor component, in addition to the reduction of the resolution, is that PDFs can be created with the latest and best compression methods – JPEG-2000 and JBIG-2 which are not supported by most PDF applications.

Features PDFCompressor:

• Compresses existing PDF files many times depending on the initial situation and settings.
• All settings can be managed via profiles (XML files) – Profile: New, Copy, Change Name, Delete, Export, Import
• Parallel processing with configurable number of processes.
• Removed – unused pages, unused names, invalid bookmarks, invalid links, etc.
• ZIP compression of all PDF resources.
• Optimizing the color depth of images.
• Image Compression Change – Color, Grayscale, Black & White – LZW, RLE, JPEG, ZIP, JPEG-2000, TIFF Gr.4, JBIG-2.
• Reduce images – Convert images to new target resolution separately for color, grayscale, black & white configurable.
• Many setting options for JPEG, JPEG-2000, JBIG-2 compression
• Lossless and lossy compression on JPEG-2000 and JBIG-2 configurable

The PDFCompressor will be available in the product variants – as FM Folder Monitoring, CL Command Line, Web Service and as an eDocPrintPro Plugin. Likewise, the PDFCompressor will soon be integrated into our products AutoOCR, FileConverterPro, PDFmdx as well as iPaper Client or Server.
