PDFOptim provides easy and effective ways to compress large image and graphics heavy PDF files. Inbuilt side-by-side preview to compare original and compressed PDF. * * * PDFOptim for Mac is also available on the Mac App Store. * * * Compressed PDF documents requires less disk space for storage and faster uploads and downloads saves transmission time and cost. PDFOptim rewrites the entire PDF documents using selected compression options as efficiently as possible without compromising the document's integrity. If your PDF documents are in another app (For Example Mail, DropBox or SkyDrive etc.) that uses the Open In… button, tap the button to open the PDF document in PDFOptim. You can also transfer PDF documents from your desktop computer via iTunes into PDFOptim application on your iPhone or iPad. KEY FEATURES: AUTO COMPRESSION MODE - PDFOptim analyze document’s contents and apply algorithm to generate a smallest possible PDF by maintaining the document’s visual quality. Choose one of the four predefined Auto compression methods and let the app do the hard work for you. No further user interaction required to provide technical compression options. MANUAL COMPRESSION MODE - Change compression options manually to generate optimum sized PDF of your need. You can choose compression options to set from Image Color Model, Image Resolution, JPEG Image Quality, Optimise vector graphics level and Advance option. - Image color model to choose from RGB, Gray and Mono. Selecting Monochrome color model option converts raster PDF contents into black and white which helps reduces PDF file size to greater extent. It is very helpful when compressing scanned books mainly containing text. - Image resolution ppi (pixels/inch) control to resize raster image contents. Downsampling at lower resolution decrease the file size dramatically. - Quality control. Set quality from lossless to least for resampling all raster images into PDF. It allows you to control compressed PDF size and viewing quality. -Advance options to remove PDF content properties like alternate images, page thumbnails, documents structure hierarchy and output intent. - Optimize vector graphics option removes superfluous information to reduce vector graphics heavy PDF. Increase in optimize vector from 'Level 1' to 'Level 5' reduces output PDF file size less to more respectively. This option is very useful when PDF content mainly consist of high precision vector graphics, Usually PDF drawing, note-taking and PDF markup apps creates large vector graphics heavy PDF files which can be compressed by this option efficiently. - Password protected PDF documents supported for compression using correct password. - Single or multiple compressed PDFs can be shared as single ZIP (*.zip) file. - Allows Compressed PDFs to Open In… another application, Mail, Message, Print, share PDFs to nearby iOS devices via AirDrop. - Use Copy to iTunes to save and share compressed PDFs on your desktop computer. PDF VIEWER: - Inbuilt PDF viewer with fully selectable and searchable text contents. Select and copy text to clipboard for further use. - Pinch out and Pinch in to ZoomIn and ZoomOut view and search feature to find a character, word and sentence. - Scroll through your document by thumbnail view or Go to page feature. Note: PDFOptim is standalone application running natively to compress PDF documents securely on your iOS device. You can refer User Manual for any assistance Or Contact Support. *The free version has limitation to export one compressed PDF per week. Get Premium to remove all restrictions and start exporting an unlimited number of compressed PDFs.

Very understandable design. Smart price for lifetime use. Team who did create the app - you are best. Thank you -- Athaneric, 2023-12-25 ### ***** "Great compression" This does an amazing job in my early usage at reducing PDF size while preserving decent quality. Thanks! It’s a bit disappointing that it does not support iOS shortcuts, and that you need to buy another copy if you want to use it on macOS. That makes it a bit pricey for a single-purpose utility app. -- Labyrintho, 2023-08-06 ### ***** "PDFOptim made my life simpler!" I compose “how-to’s,” “tips ‘n tricks“ and recipes that I like to send & share with friends & family. These require photos & screenshots because ("A picture is worth a thousand words".) Invariably these documents run into trouble when I try to paste them into an email. Either the pictures are moved around, or the text gets scrambled about, or most often the file refuses to email because ‘it’s too big.” PDFOptim let’s me save my documents as PDF files that are 90%+ smaller than the raw documents. I’ve been able to email the small PDF documents as mail attachments without fail! Price was reasonable & it does the job I need. Takes a bit of time to get the hang of it, but easy after a few goes. -- Thomspeng, 2023-08-06 ### ***-- "Non performance of this application" I use an iphoneXR. I tried opening the app after an update but it can't open again. What do i do? -- higberase, 2021-08-15 ### *---- "Don’t buy." I just bought it and tried to compress the 1.9mb file it compressed to 1.6mb at all settings. It is of no use. I have to get this one refund from the developer. -- Surewin4me, 2020-12-31 ### ***** "App no longer works!!!" Why is it my PDF Optim app no longer works?? I paid for this app and have been using it for several months now, and suddenly, when I really needed it today, it won’t open on my iPad!! Soooo frustrating! -- RViPad, 2020-11-06 ### ***** "A full 5 stars !" Needed to compress a large PDF file. Did NOT want to sign up for an Acrobat monthly overpriced subscription. Found this app after doing some searching. It works ! Just tinker around with the compression settings to find the optimum for each PDF you need to compress. Do a few tests, to find which one best suits your requirement. This app was well worth the fee. -- Mauijoe, 2020-10-08 ### *---- "Really seems to only compress the pictures" Wish I could get my money back. Reduced my file about 15% but graphics were unreadable or highly degraded. I played around with the settings and couldn’t get anywhere near the other reviewers results. Hmm... Conclusion: a waste of 3 dollars -- Lifeisgood2o, 2020-07-15 ### ***** "Does what it says efficiently" Making PDF files smaller is probably the one thing that about everybody needs at some point. There are hundreds of apps that will mark up, save, reorder pages and stuff with PDF files (Good Reader is my personal favorite) but none of them will help you get a a 30mb PDF down to email size. This does it without an annoying subscription. Simple, affordable, worth every penny. I squished down a 25mb PDF to 3mb and couldn’t even tell the loss in quality. A life saver. -- -=Anubus=-, 2020-06-26 ### ***** "NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED" This app costs $2.99 once and will compress pdf files on the iPhone forever. “Free” apps will compress your file, but force you into a monthly subscription to retrieve the file. This app is easy to use and did exactly what I needed. -- Modellrn, 2020-05-04 ### ***** "It works" Simple and it works. It shrinks PDFs. Thank you. -- drincic, 2020-01-21 ### ***** "It’s amazing" It’s amazing. -- A new user this time, 2020-01-07 ### ***** "Love it" Very easy to use and it works! -- Jakama568356, 2019-11-26 ### **--- "Doesn’t work for GoodNotes" I have 200 MB notebooks from good notes, this thing could only get it down to 50 MB, which is great but not good enough. The algorithm clearly only messes with the photos in the PDF, but as GoodNotes seems to save the handwriting as a really high resolution background for the PDF, the algorithm doesn’t optimize it at all. At 1ppi, which is an ultra low setting the images become indecipherable, but the handwriting is crystal clear. I’m going to get a refund. -- Genoso, 2019-08-20 ### ***-- "Exactly as it says" It compressed my files seamlessly and easily. It has nemerous options as to what quality and size you want your file to be compressed to and the side by side comparison between the original and shrinked one is absolutely awesome. Very reliable.. -- Osei kofi, 2019-08-15 ### *---- "Needs updating to latest os version" Multitasking, drag and drop, etc doesn’t work. Doesn’t use full screen on new iPads. Needs update! -- noname77, 2019-06-17 ### ***** "It works!" What more could you ask for? The one time I thought there was a problem, it was my own screwup. This app is great. The developer promptly responds when questions are asked. Go for it, it’s worth the money. -- STL Mark, 2019-01-22 ### ***** "End user" This is brilliant application to use and worth to spend the money . Way excellent - -- krish_crazy, 2018-11-20 ### *---- "Absolutely Junk" Won’t allow me to open files in the optimize tab in order to decrease file size. Don’t waste your money -- Camberlink, 2018-09-03 ### ***** "Exceptional!!" This app is nothing short of excellent. Inexpensive, works as well if not better than desktop alternatives. If I had one complaint I wish the compressed documents were stored on iCloud so I could access the documents I’ve compressed on any of my other devices. I’d love to see an app this simple and effective on macOS too. Really great job! Also hugely appreciate all work is done on-device when compressing sensitive content. -- ciak2009, 2018-07-30 [View all PDFOptim reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## PDFOptim In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Premium : Monthly Access | $0.99 | | Premium : Lifetime Access | $4.99 | | Premium : Yearly Access | $2.99 | ## Apps Similar to PDFOptim -
