Best Practices & Practical Tips
- ✓Remove blank trailing pages before compression to maximize available byte allowance for content pages.
- ✓For scanned documents, balance DPI downsampling with stamp and signature sharpness.
- ✓Check that barcodes and official seals remain scannable after compression.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ⚠️Compressing an already heavily degraded scan to 50KB, which can render small serial numbers illegible.
- ⚠️Relying on filename size estimates rather than inspecting the actual byte count of the downloaded file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do scanned PDFs take longer to compress than digital PDFs?
Scanned pages are full-resolution bitmap images that require canvas downsampling and discrete cosine transform re-encoding, whereas digital text PDFs only require stream deflating.
What is the recommended size for email attachments?
Keeping PDFs under 2MB–5MB ensures smooth delivery across all email service providers without bounce-backs.
