Optimize for Web: a practical guide
A print-ready PDF is built to be read on paper, not streamed over a connection. Fonts, images and the internal object order all assume the whole file will arrive before anything is shown. Web optimisation rewrites that structure, moving the information a viewer needs first to the front and trimming what can wait.
A print-ready PDF is built to be read on paper, not streamed over a connection. Fonts, images and the internal object order all assume the whole file will arrive before anything is shown. Web optimisation rewrites that structure, moving the information a viewer needs first to the front and trimming what can wait. The pages look the same. They start appearing sooner, which matters most on a slow phone.
How to use it: Choose the PDF that visitors will read online. Then Apply the web optimisation profile. Then Preview the loading behaviour of the result. Then Download the optimised file for your site..
Faster first-page render time. Smooth scrolling through long documents. Lighter weight for slow connections. Ideal for website downloads and email blasts.
