Frequently Asked Questions

How does PDF compression work?

Our PDF compressor uses Ghostscript to optimize embedded images, remove unnecessary metadata, and apply compression algorithms. Text remains searchable and hyperlinks stay intact.

What quality preset should I use?

For web sharing and email, use "Screen" (72 DPI). For ebook readers and tablets, use "eBook" (150 DPI). For home printing, use "Printer" (300 DPI). For professional print production, use "Prepress".

Will compression affect text quality?

No, text in PDFs is stored as vectors and remains crisp at any zoom level. Only embedded images are compressed, which may show slight quality reduction at high zoom on lower presets.

Are hyperlinks and bookmarks preserved?

Yes, all hyperlinks, bookmarks, and interactive elements in your PDF are preserved during compression. The document structure remains fully intact.
