Python Compress PDF REST API

Compress PDF in Python

Using our powerful Python API, developers can compress PDF documents to optimize content and output file size. Reducing PDF size occurs by cleaning up unused data and resources. You can also compress images inside PDF to make the output file size even smaller.

The result of content optimization and compression can be saved in the original PDF or any available save format – DOCX, DOC, RTF, HTML and many others. For example, compress PDF and save the output as Word.

Reduce PDF file size in Python

As mentioned, our Python SDK allows you to programmatically reduce PDF size. And now you can try our powerful functionality and evaluate how to compress PDF in Python with the following example:

Compress PDF using Python

Input file

Upload a file you want to optimize/compress

Run code

Output format

Select the target format from the list

import asposewordscloud

words_api = WordsApi(client_id = '####-####-####-####-####', client_secret = '##################')

request_document = open('Input.pdf', 'rb')
request_compress_options = asposewordscloud.CompressOptions(
   images_quality=75, images_reduce_size_factor=1)
compress_document_request = asposewordscloud.models.requests.CompressDocumentOnlineRequest(
   document=request_document, compress_options=request_compress_options)
compress_document = words_api.compress_document_online(compress_document_request)

convert_document = asposewordscloud.models.requests.ConvertDocumentRequest(
   document=list(insert_paragraph.document.values())[0], format='pdf')
words_api.convert_document(convert_document)
