Is optimizing a PDF the same as compressing it?
No. Compression focuses on file size. Optimization focuses on the final use: web loading, email delivery, image quality, font handling, and predictable viewing.
What is Fast Web View?
Fast Web View is a linearized PDF structure that helps compatible viewers display early pages before the entire file has downloaded. It is most useful for large PDFs hosted online.
Can I optimize a PDF for email?
Yes. Use Optimize PDF to create a delivery-ready copy, then confirm that it fits the recipient's attachment limit and still looks readable.
Will optimization reduce image quality?
It can if image downsampling or recompression is applied aggressively. Always inspect pages with photos, charts, signatures, and small text before sending the result.
