Benefits of compression for email attachments:

• Compressing files to avoid delays in email delivery keeps your original content intact and delivers it into the hands of your recipients reliably.
• Send files directly to your staff, partners, and consumers via email with minimal delays.
• Reduce email delivery delays and gets the right content to the right recipients at the right moment.

Benefits of compression for faster uploads/downloads:

• Compressing a PDF before it is made available for upload decreases the time it takes for content to load.
• Compressing digital files before they are made available to download decreases content abandonment rates. This means your content gets to consumers faster; right when they need it.
• Consumers are less likely to bounce to another website, location, or competitor for the support they need.

Benefits of compression for long-term storage:

• Smaller files take up less storage space.
• Less space needed means less space to pay for, so it will save you both time and money if you need to store your PDFs long-term.

Benefits of compression for print workflows:

• Avoid the dreaded print queue crash by printing smaller files.
• Get faster, more reliable digital-to-print experiences.
• Reduce print errors and time to the printer by compressing a PDF before printing it.
