Color Compression
Storage space is cheap these days, especially when you compare it to warehouse storage, historically. But still, it’s important to keep your data storage requirements low, making backups easier to manage and ensuring that limits on bandwidth will not become an issue. Thus, we offer color PDF compression as an option on our service, or as a standalone for your repository of PDF files.
You may have succeeded in digitizing thousands of client files and company records, but you’re now seeing that the PDFs take a long time to open and backups are not complete by the next morning when work resumes and the network gets busy again.
What does compression do?
Compressing color PDFs is the process of separating the elements of the file to individual types of data, and layering them back into the file so there is little or no perceivable difference in the display of the information. But in the process, images, text, and other data are rendered, processed, and parsed in the manner most appropriate for the type, and the overhead for each element is diminished drastically within a file.
We’ve scanned boxes of customer files that reach 4GB per box, but after compression, they weigh in at about 500 MB each. That’s an incredible reduction on load with regard to using the documents.
This process has helped us deliver lightweight PDF documents to the State Department of Education and the Office of Mental Health..
