Best pdf compressor

This app is the best, on apple store. Very understandable design. Smart price for lifetime use. Team who did create the app - you are best. Thank you

Works Well

This app works well on my iPad. Good value for money.

Great compression

This does an amazing job in my early usage at reducing PDF size while preserving decent quality. Thanks!

It’s a bit disappointing that it does not support iOS shortcuts, and that you need to buy another copy if you want to use it on macOS. That makes it a bit pricey for a single-purpose utility app.

PDFOptim made my life simpler!

I compose “how-to’s,” “tips ‘n tricks“ and recipes that I like to send & share with friends & family. These require photos & screenshots because ("A picture is worth a thousand words".)

Invariably these documents run into trouble when I try to paste them into an email. Either the pictures are moved around, or the text gets scrambled about, or most often the file refuses to email because ‘it’s too big.”

PDFOptim let’s me save my documents as PDF files that are 90%+ smaller than the raw documents. I’ve been able to email the small PDF documents as mail attachments without fail!

Price was reasonable & it does the job I need. Takes a bit of time to get the hang of it, but easy after a few goes.

THIS is the only one you need…

Sadly, the App Store is riddled with an astonishing number of poor or scam PDF compression apps. PDF Optim is the only one which works properly and allows you to make all the fine adjustments to compression/quality you need. It’s a rare thing: a perfect app which always works: 5 Stars!

Non performance of this application

I use an iphoneXR. I tried opening the app after an update but it can't open again. What do i do?

Response from developer

We are extremely sorry for inconvenience caused to you. I can understand the crash problem affected your work and apologise for any issues it may have caused. We have resolved the issue and expeditiously updated the app on the App Store. Please update your copy of the app to version 4.1.1.

Stunning.

I had a 17mb news paper pdf, ( not scanned admittedly, but a pdf as a download of the article) that I wanted to email to a friend. On default settings it shrunk this to 373kb. The program has a nice ‘before and after’ setting so you can compare side by side the compression - indistinguishable.

For my purposes a superb program, simple no subscription and ‘just works’.

It’s useless

Every time you try to “optimise” a pdf, it tells you it cannot be optimises and you have to change the settings. Do this as many times, for all possible settings, and it still doesn’t work.

Don’t buy.

I just bought it and tried to compress the 1.9mb file it compressed to 1.6mb at all settings. It is of no use. I have to get this one refund from the developer.

App no longer works!!!

Why is it my PDF Optim app no longer works?? I paid for this app and have been using it for several months now, and suddenly, when I really needed it today, it won’t open on my iPad!! Soooo frustrating!
