Frequently Asked Questions
Which compression tier should I choose?
Balanced for emailing (a 25 MB scan set lands near 6 MB), Maximum for worry-free archiving, High Quality for client-facing filings where stamps and seals must stay crisp. Text layers are never touched — only embedded images recompress.
How small can image-heavy PDFs get?
Scanned sets shrink 70–90%; digitally-created PDFs with few images shrink 10–30% since text is already compact. A 10-file, 80 MB scan batch at Balanced typically returns ~15 MB total — emailable as one ZIP.
Do hyperlinks and bookmarks survive?
Yes — links, bookmarks, and form structure pass through; only image streams and metadata change. Flatten signed copies first so signatures render identically everywhere.
Does shrinking PDFs send files to a server?
No — compression runs locally in your browser on pdf-lib; documents never leave your device. Only the final save counts as one Pro download.
