What is PDF Compression?

PDF compression reduces the file size of a PDF document. This tool performs basic optimization by loading the PDF and re-saving it, which strips unused objects and re-structures the internal data. While this does not re-compress embedded images (which would require server-side processing), it can still meaningfully reduce file size for many documents.
