PDF files with images are often very large, too large to be sent by email. With this tool here I can often reduce the size of the PDF files considerably.
A really simple and cool tool to compress PDF files. With this, I usually still get my PDF files a little smaller without any loss of quality.
When reducing the file size of a PDF, various methods are used to make the file smaller. Depending on what data is contained in the PDF, the compression works well or less well. PDF files with e.g. images can be compressed well. PDF24 uses the following techniques to compress a PDF:
Lossless PDF compression is possible with PDF24, but you can't expect a big reduction in file size in this mode. That's how it works:
A large PDF file can be created if the PDF file contains images. This is usually the main reason for a PDF that is too large. A PDF file that contains only text is usually much smaller. If a PDF contains images, you can use PDF24 to make them very small by reducing the size and quality of the images.
The PDF24 compression tool has several modes. In normal compression mode, the quality and size of the images are reduced, as this has the greatest effect on the file size. Lossless compression can also be used, but has less impact. However, a reduction in quality is often not a problem. The question is more or less how much the quality can be reduced, which is still acceptable in terms of file size.
Yes, if the PDF contains images, because these images can be further compressed and the image size can be reduced. PDF compression for PDF files without images works less well.

PDFs usually use internal compression for the objects they contain. However, this compression is not absolutely necessary. All or only some objects can be contained completely uncompressed. The software that creates the PDF can decide whether to compress objects or not. The PDF standard does not require PDF compression.
