Hi,

is there a way to compress images in a PDF file with ImageEN?

I would like to open a specific PDF file, reduce quality of images included in the PDF file and save the PDF (to reduce PDF file size).

Kind regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas

If the PDF only contains images, then yes (with caveats). If it contains text and other content that you don't want rasterized, then no.

I'm exploring this too - I have PDFs where users embed images with 300dpi resolution unnecessarily. Ideally, I would like to extract those images, reduce the resolution, then replace the original images with these resampled images. Is that possible using ImageEn?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ray

Specifically speaking, ImageEn can do this:

1. Load the pages of the PDF as images (using PDFium). Note that this includes the whole page, so you would need to crop them in some way, e.g. using:

2. Resample the images to lower the resolution:

3. Save the set of images as a new PDF (ImageEn native PDF support):

It is not an ideal solution. I expect there are better/easier ways to do this.
