Image compression software developer Accusoft has released an upgraded version of its PDF Xpress software development kit (SDK).
PDF Xpress version 6 allows users to create and modify Adobe PDF and PDF/A files. PDF Xpress now includes an automated function that analyzes PDFs to find ways to optimize image compression and reduce overall file size with little or no visible loss in display quality. Applications built with the package can be rendered dramatically smaller, with customizable settings to control the type and amount of compression applied, according to Accusoft.
Compressed PDFs take up less storage space and display more quickly, especially when viewed online, the company said.
