Compresses much more than my other tools like ABBYY, and more than the online tool I tried, pdf24.

I tested with a 48mb pdf, which pdf24 brought down to 600kb, and this brought down to 250kb. Both retained the OCR.

Doesn't work for me in Windows 11. Could only get it to do the "Default" compression which hardly reduced the size at all.

Works, but only with one task at a time.

I haven't been able to test it yet, but some programs make multiple files at once: 4dots Free PDF Compress Reduce PDF Size PdfEdit995 WeCompress

Works good, but be sure to test the PDFs in Adobe Acrobat reader, dont use Foxit and other lite PDF readers, because sometimes it will create a PDF that renders bad or layers are out of order. If it does this, you have to change the compression settings to see what works best. Most people will use Acrobat reader, so you need to test it against that software. Besides Foxit doesnt render everything the same as the real Adobe Reader software.

You have to play with the settings for each PDF, because some settings work better for different cases. It's a great tool! :)

Even fixed a broken PDF that only worked on Mac and complained about fonts, compressed it and it then worked correctly on PC.

**Good & Simple:**code text here

It took an 8 page 300dpi colour document down from 25MB to a 4.25MB using selection: 'Print Quality' resulting in an on-screen quality I would be satisfied to submit for an ID-proof application; so seems good to me. Only used once so far.
