How to reduce PDF file size programmatically in Java?

Document document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
PdfCopy writer = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream(outFile));
document.open();
PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, ++i);
writer.setFullCompression();
writer.addPage(page);
document.close();
writer.close();

I am using iText to split and merger the PDF, I need your help to reduce (compress) the output PDF size programmatically. Please let me know the steps to achieve the same.

Solution

  • With writer.setFullCompression() you already compressed file as much as possible. With iText you can't do anything more.
