Frequently asked questions
How does compression work?
The default method re-encodes unambiguous directly embedded images. Ambiguous objects are left unchanged; a separate stronger mode rasterises scan pages.
Does searchable text remain?
Yes with the default method: text, links, vectors and forms remain. Only the explicitly selected smallest-file mode rasterises pages.
Are 5 MB or 2 MB guaranteed?
No. They are targets; very long documents may remain larger.
