New features and improvements

PDF Reducer version 4 includes major enhancements of its compression and PDF/A conversion engines, both based on the GdPicture.NET PDF SDK.

Improvement of the MRC engine

PDF Reducer uses the Mixed Raster Content (MRC) technology, which optimizes PDF files by improving their readability while compressing them at the smallest size possible. For version 4, the Research and Development team significantly improved the compression rate of this engine, especially on complex documents.

Complete PDF/A support

For users looking for long-term archival of their electronic documents, PDF Reducer offers the possibility to save as the ISO standard PDF/A (ISO 19005).
With version 4, all PDF/A versions and conformance levels are supported, including the latest PDF/A-4, PDF/A-4e, and PDF/A-4f.

Based on GdPicture.NET

PDF Reducer integrates the GdPicture.NET Document Imaging SDK PDF capabilities, the toolkit developed in-house by the French company.
GdPicture.NET is used by companies and organizations of all sizes and industries worldwide.
