Compress PDF Files
PDF files are really popular for use on the internet. Several users like to share their created PDF files on the internet as they know that these files cannot be edited online by other users. As a result, information on the PDF files is incredibly secure. Even if you want to print the file, information and colors and even images on the file print out exactly how you want them to appear. Formatting and language is retained exactly as set on the digital version and this ensures that there is no different between the digital and hardcore version of the PDF file. Due to this property, artists and graphic illustrators used the PDF file format to create incredibly detailed formats and presentation that were heavy on information and data. But these data heavy files were very big and difficult to send over the internet. Attaching the files and downloading them took a lot of time. It was really necessary to send files over the internet after carrying out a compress PDF files process.
Compression Algorithm Formats
There were several methods to carry out compress PDF files functions. For example, most of the latest ADOBE versions have the compression algorithms present on them. When you close the file, the ADOBE Software will carry out the compression by itself and compress PDF files automatically. There are two main versions of compression algorithms: lossy and lossless. The lossy compression algorithms work on the principle that you can compress the file efficiently but at the same time there is loss of essential data. But in lossless formats compression levels are not as much as the lossy versions even though valuable data is not lost.
Lossy Vs Lossless
Compression algorithms commonly used to decrease file size are LZW that is a lossless compress algorithm commonly used to compress text and data. FLATE is another lossless version commonly used to record and compress text and images. JPEG is one of the most used lossy formats for storing images and monochrome images. Most PDF files use a combination of all compression algorithms to compress PDF files and different sections of the file.
