How to compress PDF via Cloud Python SDK
To compress PDF, we’ll use Aspose.PDF Cloud Python SDK. This Cloud SDK assists Python programmers in developing cloud-based PDF creator, annotator, editor, and converter apps using Python programming language via Aspose.PDF REST API. Simply create an account at Aspose for Cloud and get your application information. Once you have the App SID & key, you are ready to give the Aspose.PDF Cloud Python SDK. If the python package is hosted on Github, you can install directly from Github:
Installation from Github
pip install git+https://github.com/aspose-pdf-cloud/aspose-pdf-cloud-python.git
Package Manager Console Command
pip install asposepdfcloud
Steps to compress PDF via Python SDK
Aspose.PDF Cloud developers can easily load & optimize PDF in just a few lines of code.
- Install Python SDK
- Define Config Class
- Initialize the PDF API Client
- Upload the PDF Document with upload_document method
- Compress the PDF Document using compress_pdf_document method (in this example we compress images and reduce their quality, you can set other params if need it). Checks the Documentation Pages, if you need details.
- Send compression request via post_optimize_document().
- Download the Resulting PDF
