FAQ
Common questions
Why are scanned PDFs so large?
Scanned PDFs often contain page images instead of text, so image compression has a bigger effect than normal PDF cleanup.
Does scanned PDF compression keep text selectable?
If the original is only scanned images, text may not be selectable. Compression focuses on reducing file size and preserving page appearance.
