I have a customer who receives PDFs from a third party. These PDFs are essentially scanned images. The PDF file sizes are quite large. Is there a way to open one of these PDFs and make some setting changes (like with compression, etc), and then save it out again with a smaller size?
Printing the PDF file to PDF using your Lite driver seems to reduce the size a bit. I typically don't like recommending printing to PDF a file that is already a PDF but it does seem to work a bit. If this is an option, are there additional compression options in your non-Lite, Standard PDF driver that would work even better.
Or is the are better way to do this altogether?
Thanks.

Re: Reducing PDF file Size
Hello Jeff,
Try using this operation:
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... t_optimize
Also, to use it, the optimizer plugin should be added before the Control initialization.
Cheers,
Alex

Re: Reducing PDF file Size
This is a big document so when I call pOp.Do_(0); it takes a long time. As such, is there a way to add a progress event so I can display what's going on.
