New API Added: PDF Compress
We've added the PDF Compress API, a new endpoint that reduces PDF file size by up to six times without compromising quality. It's ideal for cases like a legal firm archiving large volumes of scanned case documents, where smaller files mean lower cloud storage costs and faster retrieval while legibility and formatting stay intact.
Highlights
- Up to 90% file size reduction while maintaining visual fidelity.
- Advanced image recompression, including for pre-compressed images.
- Multiple compression presets - Text, Archive, Web, Ebook, and Printer - or custom settings to balance quality and size.
- Selective content removal of bookmarks, annotations, forms, embedded files, and metadata.
- Font and vector optimization: subset embedded fonts and preserve vector graphics to keep text sharp.
- Web optimization: linearize PDFs for fast web viewing and optimize page content streams.
- Compliance and security: meets ISO, GDPR, and HIPAA standards, with files encrypted during processing.
- Flexible integration via REST API or SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, and Go.
