PDF Setup Window - Super Compression Tab

Use the Super Compression tab to convert export files to highly compressed PDF images. Super Compression is available for both PDF output types. PDF generates PDF 1.4 or later and PDF/A produces the PDF 1.4 format.

In most cases, you can rely on highly compressed PDFs to reduce file sizes, provide optimal transmission speeds over networks, and reduce the cost of storage.

On the Super Compression tab, a dual image viewer displays the original image alongside a highly compressed image. Use the dual viewer to compare the quality of the original image to the highly compressed image, and then determine if the results are acceptable. You can use the status bar controls to adjust the appearance of the images in the dual viewer.
