PDF compressor FAQ
What is the difference between the levels?
All three preserve the PDF structure. The difference is how aggressively images are downsampled — to roughly 200 dpi, 144 dpi or 72 dpi.
Where is the file processed?
Processing is handled through Adobe PDF Services. Website Temple does not store a copy of the document.
