combine_pdfĬombinePDF is a tool for merging PDF files, written in Ruby. The origami.rb script can be invoked like ruby origami.rb INPUT OUTPUT. Similar to HexaPDF Origami is a framework for manipulating PDF files. streams=preserve -no-optimize-fonts OUTPUT CS (so this would be the standard mode of operation) hexapdf optimize INPUT OUTPUT CSP hexapdf optimize INPUT -compress-pages OUTPUT origami streams=preserve -no-optimize-fonts OUTPUT C hexapdf optimize INPUT -compact -object-streams=preserve -xref-streams=preserve Invocations: None of C, S, or P hexapdf optimize INPUT -no-compact -object-streams=preserve -xref-streams=preserve We want to benchmark hexapdf with increasing levels of compression, using the following The list of the benchmarked applications: hexapdf Usage of object and cross-reference streams Since the abilities of the applications vary, following is a table of keys used to describe theĬompacting by removing unused and deleted objects This benchmark is intended to be run on Linux we will use command line applications that are readily There are many applications that can perform some or all of the optimizations mentioned above. PDF libraries because it is hard to get them right. However, those are rather advanced and not implemented in most There are some more techniques for reducing the file size like font subsetting/merging/deduplication Their output which can lead to bigger than necessary content streams or don’t store it in a The content of a PDF page is described in an ASCII-based format. Instead of the standard ASCII-based format. And cross-reference streams store the file offsets to the objects in a compressed manner, Object streams take those objects and store them compressed in a binaryįormat. Using object and cross-reference streamsĪ PDF file can be thought of as a collection of random-access objects that are stored sequentially Optimizations, we only look at those: Removing unused and deleted objectsĪ PDF file can store multiple revisions of an object but only the last one is used. Since all used applications perform only lossless
There are various ways to optimize the file size of a PDF file and they can be divided into two “optimization” is used when a PDF file is linearized for faster display on web sites. This involves reading and writing the PDF file and performing the optimization. One of the ways to use the hexapdf command is to optimize a PDF file in terms of its file size.
