Our converted PDFs are usually larger due to our PDF creation method (high-quality raster). However, there are a few things that can be tried:
Reduce the document resolution
You can reduce the output document resolution in SwiftView Pro by opening the Export menu, selecting Options and reducing the DPI (300 is recommended). If you are using SwiftConvert, you can add the “set printres 300” argument to your command. “Set printres 300” can also be added to the SwiftView .ini file. Instructions on how to use the ini file can be found here.
Remove color
You can remove color from the output document by adding the “set printcolor disable” command to your ini file. Instructions on how to use the ini file can be found here.
Enable document pre-rotation
Depending on the document, enabling pre-rotation can reduce file size. This can be done by adding “set printprerotate enable to your ini file. Instructions on how to use the ini file can be found here.
Change compression method
You can change the print compression method of SwiftView Pro by opening the Export meny, selection Options and selecting JBIG2 from the compression drop-down menu. This can also be done by adding “set printcompressformat jbig2” to your ini file. Instructions on how to use the ini file can be found here.
