How to Compress a PDF Without Turning Text Into Images
Understand the tradeoff between smaller files and preserving searchable/editable content.
The short answer
One crude way to shrink a PDF is to rasterize pages. That can make text harder to search, select or edit. Better compression targets images and redundant document data while preserving text objects where possible.
How VARAK approaches it
VARAK’s current product description explicitly positions compression as reducing large files without turning text into images.
What to verify before sharing the result
PDF workflows can affect layout, fonts, recognition and document integrity. Review the saved file against the original, especially when the document contains financial, legal or identity information.
