Description

PDFOptim is an intuitive and powerful way to reduce PDF file size that you will ever need on your Mac. Batch compress PDF files using extensive set of options and presets.

FEATURES:

- Simultaneous compression of multiple PDF files.

AUTO COMPRESSION MODE
- PDFOptim analyze document’s contents and apply algorithm to generate a smallest possible PDF by maintaining the document’s visual quality. Choose one of the four predefined Auto compression methods and let the app do the hard work for you. No further user interaction required to provide technical compression options.

MANUAL COMPRESSION MODE
- Change compression options manually to generate optimum sized PDF of your need. You can choose a preset from predefined presets or customize as new preset. Provides two compression filter methods - Graphics and Quartz filters. Powerful and robust Graphics filter can compress PDF document without losing document’s integrity and preserves PDF document properties.

COMPRESSION FILTER OPTIONS
- JPEG compression with quality control.
- Image sampling resolution, downsampling at lower resolution decrease the file size dramatically.
- Image colorspace to choose from RGB, CMYK, Gray and Bitonal. Selecting Bitonal colorspace compression option converts raster PDF contents into black and white which reduces PDF file size to greater extent. It is very helpful when compressing scanned documents. Optimizing scanned documents using Bitonal colorspace can create 40x smaller PDF.
- Optimize graphics option removes superfluous information to reduce vector graphics heavy PDF. Increase in optimize graphics from 'Level 1' to 'Level 5' reduces output PDF file size less to more respectively. This option is very useful when PDF content mainly consist of high precision vector graphics. Usually PDF drawing, note-taking and PDF markup apps creates large vector graphics heavy PDF files which can be compressed by this option efficiently.

Fantastic app for significant reduction in file sizes

I instantly bought this full version after trying the ‘Lite’ version and seeing what the app could do.

I’ve so far reduced two large PDF+TEXT files (with OCR) down from 250MB and 300MB to 72MB and 119MB respetively.

Severall things that have impressed me the most are:

• I achieved these reductions without much tinkering or time spent with the app
• My OCR and annotations remain intact and editable in the app I used to create the annotations in the first place (DevonThink Pro Office)!

If like me, you use PDFs every day for research and/or work and need to carry them around for reference on an iPad, this app is fantastic at reducing the file size without comprimising quality and legibility.

NB - I found that using a custom setting of 144dpi with 100% resolution and the grey image colour model gave me the best results since I scan everything with greyscale.

I couldn’t ask for more from this app - keep up the good work!

A workflow essential

Your PDF reader app does lots of things these days. It might offer PDF compression as standard or even premium. But the built in tools are not very granular. It's whatever it is. PDFOptim is for when granular is not enough and precision is required. I use it on a daily basis as part of my workflow. The bonus is that support is there when you need them. Highly recommended.

Life Saver!

I love this little app. If you're in design and often working with high resolution files it can be a nightmare when exporting to pdf, since most often the files created are far to large to be shared via email. This little app does the job in a flash!
