The file-selection area starts the compression workflow, with support for processing a single PDF or several files in one run. PDF Reducer is ORPALIS software for reducing PDF file sizes while keeping documents readable for sharing or storage.
Compress one PDF or a batch
Select a PDF for an individual compression job, or process multiple documents together. The reduced files are intended to take up less space and be easier to send or store, while retaining readable content.
This workflow suits scanned documents and other PDFs that have become cumbersome to share. The product focuses on file-size reduction; it does not require a separate document-conversion step for PDFs.
Remove or modify PDF content
PDF Reducer also includes tools for removing or changing content within a document. These controls address what a PDF contains, in addition to the compression task, and can be used when preparing a document for distribution.
Convert image files to PDF
The On-Premises edition can compress image files and save them as PDFs. This brings image input into the same document workflow as PDF compression, with the resulting images stored in PDF format.
