In an age where document digitization is essential, PDF files are a staple in business, education, and personal use. However, as the number of PDFs increases—particularly those rich in images, forms, or embedded fonts—their size can quickly become a challenge. Managing these bulky files can slow down sharing, clog storage, and impede productivity. That’s where PDF compression and optimization come in—especially with batch processing, which saves time by handling multiple files at once. PDF compression refers to the process of reducing the file size of a PDF document without significantly affecting its quality. This is achieved by removing unnecessary elements, downscaling images, compressing fonts, or eliminating metadata. PDF optimization, while closely related, involves a broader range of improvements including: Streamlining the structure for faster loading Reducing redundancy Making files more compatible with different devices and readers Think of optimization as compression with ad...
