Best Practices#

Before Compression#

  • Higher compression = smaller file but lower quality
  • Test with medium compression first
  • Check critical text/images are readable

Before Conversion#

  • Ensure source PDF is not corrupted
  • Complex layouts may need manual cleanup after conversion
  • Scanned PDFs require OCR for text extraction

For Security#

  • Remove all metadata before sharing sensitive documents
