Optimize PDF documents

Nitro PDF Professional includes a powerful set of tools that let you quickly and easily remove unwanted document objects and compress images, and therefore help you to shrink the size of your PDF documents noticably.

Document objects

The general settings allow you to remove individual types of objects, including annotations, form fields, JavaScript, links, bookmarks, attachments, named destinations, embedded thumbnails, and invalid or unused links, bookmarks and name destinations. You can also linearize the document for faster viewing on the web and unembed fonts.

Image compression

The image compression feature gives you a simple slider tool to apply more or less compression. The higher the percentage, the higher the compression.

To optimize a PDF document:

  1. Open the PDF in Nitro PDF Professional.
  2. Choose Document > Optimize.
  3. Do any of the following:
    • Select any of the objects to remove.
    • Specify the level of compression for the images.
  4. Click Optimize.
