Shrinking PDF file size, a process involving the reduction of a Portable Document Format (PDF) file’s size while preserving its content, has become increasingly important in today’s digital world. For instance, optimizing PDFs for smaller file sizes makes them more suitable for email sharing, online publishing, and cloud storage.
This optimization technique not only enhances file transfer efficiency but also reduces data storage space requirements. Historically, the emergence of PDF compression algorithms, such as JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR, revolutionized PDF file size reduction, paving the way for current file compression techniques.
