How to compress your PDF files
As we have introduced compression algorithms above, each compression method is suitable for certain color image. For example, using JPEG compression, color and grayscale images can be compressed by a factor of 10 or more. Effective compression of monochrome images depends on the compression filter used and the properties of the image, but reductions of 50% to 12.5% are common (or 5% to 2% for JBIG2 compression of an image of a page full of text). LZW or Flate compression of the content streams describing all other text and graphics in the document results in compression ratios of approximately 50%. We can use image functions in Advanced PDF Tools software or pdfcompress command line tools of www.verypdf.com to compress your PDF files. For example, on the Image panel of Advanced PDF Tools interface,
you can select the Compression, Quality, Image size options for Color, Grayscale and Monochrome images. Image compression is where you actually reduce the data in the image by lossless compression or by lossy compression, there are different algorithms for performing this operation and we offer you the choice of all those supported by Adobe Acrobat and PDF file, include Flate, JPEG, JPEG2000, CCITT G4 etc. types. For Grayscale or Color, choose Flate to apply compression that works well on images with large areas of single colors or repeating patterns, such as screen shots, simple images created with paint programs, and black-and-white images that contain repeating patterns. Choose JPEG, quality minimum to maximum, to apply compression that is suitable for grayscale or color images, such as continuous-tone photographs that contain more detail than can be reproduced on-screen or in print. Choose JPEG2000, quality Lossless, to apply lossless compression with additional advantages, such as progressive display. (JPEG2000 is the international standard for the compression and packaging of image data. For Monochrome, choose CCITT G4 or Flate to apply a general-purpose method that produces good compression for most types of monochrome images.
