![]() ![]() A bit of a mess as my test document blends different footers and handwritten annotations, but you would expect that. The text is editable and exportable to MS word. The file size is much increased and reduced size save is also larger than previously So you get pixelated characters with a hidden font overlay. The ClearScan equivalent (now called editable text) doesn’t overlay the font as before. But let's start with Acrobat DC to check what we are comparing this to: I'll share this later on (once I understand his automator actions!) but I also wanted to test the current version of available no-subscription software. Thanks to Polywog's efforts we have a partial solution: he has managed to reduce my test files to a size similar to that of Acrobat, with only a marginal loss of quality. So I'm looking at a piece of software that will take an exiting pdf and optimise it like this, while not costing U$16/month! The search is on. The only thing that comes close is VueScan at 150 dpi but it is much slower and doesn't de-skew. So as you can see, a reduction of 60% between the Input file (ImageFormula) and the Acrobat optimised file. The results are at the end of the message, sorted by file size. Again I saved normally and in version 9+ The benefit of going through this is that it also de-skews each page. (ii) Although the original file already has OCR, I ran it again using the Clear Scan option which creates a custom font 'layer' on top of the existing pdf. ![]() I give two examples of Acrobat: (i) a simple save followed by a 'reduced' save (i.e. The 150 dpi may be challenged on smaller text or a combination of handwriting and small text, but no it this caseģ) I then went through my normal routine: started with the ImageFormula which creates medium sized files at 200dpi/OCR and then ran it through Acrobat pro. I run two separate scanners: an all-in-one Canon MX925, and a dedicated document scanner Canon ImageFormula DR-225Wġ) I started with the default (system prefs) Canon scanning utility on the all-in-one: pretty useless as it creates pdfs that weigh in at 3MB/page and doesn't offer OCR, but that's my starting point.Ģ) I then ran the same scanner with VueScan and OCR at various resolutions: Auto, 150 and 300 dpi with very little to show between them visually as an end product. Chose to scan a simple colour text double-sided sheet. ![]() SHA-1: 4d1a413d81a156b1b960a95512e2a6c3e5c4a63e Filename: cisdem-pdfcompressor.Click to expand.So a little update.
