It Got The Job Done

I needed to shrink a file in order to send it. Had to pay $2.99. I don’t mind that price as long as I’m not charged again.

Horrible App

I just needed to squeeze this PDF so I could submit it to a company and go back to work but this crap is not working and it wants money or something how dare they do that!

Not free

Let’s you look at your compressed PDF, how is that helpful????
But you have to pay to share it

Not free

The app is not free

Lite version is useless.

Why would someone want to optimize a PDF, only to not be allowed to share it with anyone? No export of any kind, app has zero value.

FAQ

How does PDFOptim Lite compress PDF files?

PDFOptim Lite compresses PDFs by rewriting the entire document using selected compression options. It allows users to adjust settings like Image Color Model, Image Resolution, JPEG Image Quality, and Optimize graphics level to reduce file size.

Can PDFOptim Lite compress already compressed PDFs?

Some PDF documents might not get compressed if they are already compressed or have minimal content to compress. The effectiveness of compression depends on the original PDF's content and compression status.

What are the benefits of compressing PDFs with PDFOptim Lite?

Compressed PDF documents require less disk space for storage and offer faster uploads and downloads, saving transmission time and cost. This is particularly useful for large, image-heavy files.

How does the Monochrome color model affect PDF compression in PDFOptim Lite?

Selecting the Monochrome color model converts raster PDF contents into black and white, significantly reducing PDF file size. This is very helpful for compressing scanned books that mainly contain text, potentially creating PDFs up to 24 times smaller than RGB compression.

Can PDFOptim Lite optimize password-protected PDFs?

Yes, PDFOptim Lite supports the optimization of password-protected PDF documents, provided the correct password is entered.
