Do I reduce the document’s quality when I compress a PDF?

When you optimize your PDF, many people think you will get a lower-quality document. The truth is that compressions with and without loss do exist. For this second case, you will be able to reduce your PDF by looking for repeating patterns, thus compressing the PDF without losing quality.

Is the size reduction percentage of an online PDF always the same?

No, the percentage reduction is not always the same. Depending on the PDF type, the percentage will be greater or lesser. As mentioned earlier, to compress a PDF the tool searches for repeating patterns, and thus the resulting decrease in PDF size will depend on pattern similarities within the document.

Must I have access to a decompression app?

No, you don’t need to install anything. The final compression is a PDF file so you will be able to open the file without having to decompress it. The compression only eliminates the unnecessary parts within the PDF to obtain the most practical result possible, for optimal transport and delivery. As you can see, it’s all advantages when compressing a PDF online.

What happens with compressed PDFs? Are they stored in the Cloud?

Once a PDF file is compressed and downloaded, the original document is erased from our servers. If you have doubts and need reassurance please visit our Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions page. You may exercise your rights at any time.

Can I recompress a PDF that has already been optimized?

Yes, you can compress a PDF a second time. Nevertheless, you will not obtain a greater file reduction, because the first time around the PDF was compressed to its maximum capacity without losing quality. If you are not concerned about quality, you can use other apps that reduce the size of a PDF by approximation (note this process is irreversible).

Can I compress several PDFs together and at the same time?

Yes, you can compress several PDFs at the same time. Online tools allow the upload of several PDF files at the same time, and once compression is final it is the user who decides if he wants to download them separately (or in a ZIP file).

Why can't I print a PDF?

There are different reasons why you may not be able to reproduce a PDF. For example, maybe the file is protected, which makes it difficult to get a printout. Fortunately, however, you can first unlock the file, so that you can then make a printout of it.

Can I choose to reproduce only some PDF pages?

Sure, you can choose to reproduce only a few pages of your document. You don't have to print the entire file when you don’t need to. That's an unnecessary waste of ink and paper!

Why do I get a blank PDF when I print?

If you get a blank sheet when you print PDFs, it means that something went wrong during the process. Maybe the PDF was protected, or it may be that your printer has run out of black or color ink. Check your printer’s status to find out.
