Compress PDF in Ruby

Using our powerful Ruby 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.

request_document = File.open('Input.pdf')
request_compress_options = CompressOptions.new(
   {:ImagesQuality => 75, :ImagesReduceSizeFactor => 1})
compress_document_request = CompressDocumentOnlineRequest.new(
   document: request_document, compress_options: request_compress_options)
compress_document = @words_api.compress_document_online(compress_document_request)
