PDF Optimization: Reduce Size Without Resampling Images PDF optimization covers a range of techniques for making PDF files smaller and faster to load. The distinction between optimization and compression is meaningful: optimization can be entirely lossless, targeting document structure rather than image data. This guide covers structural optimization — what it does, how to configure it in Acrobat, and how to implement it programmatically with pdf-lib. Optimization vs Compression: The Difference PDF compression typically refers to reducing image quality — downsampling to lower DPI or re-encoding JPEGs at lower quality. This improves file size at the cost of visual fidelity. PDF optimization more precisely refers to structural improvements: Reorganizing the file structure for faster web…
