"Doesn't exactly compress files, it wrings them out, shaking unneeded bytes out of graphics and included objects to radically reduce their size without affecting their appearance." -- Information Week

Hanging files come in two different sizes, letter and legal. Subsequently, paper documents come in sizes to fit into those files.

So consider this: how ridiculous would a 8.5" x 17" paper document look, and where in the world would you store it? Furthermore, once you found an unused cubicle where you stored that and similarly distorted documents, would you remember where it was? And would it be easily assimilated into your work flow?

The same problems affect digital files.

In order to be useful, digital files need to be a manageable size -- a size that allows you to easily share them, and quickly open them, edit and resend them. NXPowerLite Desktop puts the power in your hands.

By radically resizing your documents by up to 98% with no visible loss of quality, and with no change in the file format, NXPowerLite Desktop will free up space, put an end to e-mail-attachment-bounce-backs, and put your workflow back on track!

Please note folks: the latest version of the application has support for PDF files.

HJ B The concern is whether removing bits from a pdf or Office file may degrade some use to which that file may be put. Depending upon the "original" such degradation may be more or less. Since I am new to this program, I do not know what, if any, of the following is adversely affected.
- legibility on screen (various types of screens)
- legibility when printed to hard copy
- quality when thereafter converted to another format
- quality of search when a graphic text pdf is converted to background text
- factors in the original document, such as text font and size and headers and footers, etc.

This program offers several levels of size reduction. Can you tell us what, if any, degradations tend to occur, at each level. Particularly when dealing with important documents, it is important for the user to be informed as to that.

Dunking I would like to know the answer to HJB's question as well. I tend to scan documents to jpg for archival purposes, and while those files can be reduced in size considerably, I wouldn't want to be losing any information.

I've taken to converting the images (or series of same) to pdf for various reasons, and use pdfXchange for this. The resultant pdf is far smaller than the original images but without apparent loss of detail. So my question would be: does this application do a better job that pdfXchange or would it be just another program that ends up with little use in my circumstance?

Mike Power Hello HJ B, apologies for the delay, we are based in the UK so your question landed quite late at night for us. Details of the settings used in each of the built-in profiles along with what each setting means are covered here:
https://support.neuxpower...t-my-files

You also have the option to make your own custom profiles and to set each individual setting to your preference.

The settings are a tradeoff of size against visible changes. Our balanced profile aims to get the most reduction without any visible change. It will depend on your exact files, so you may find that you can increase the compression without noticing any differences - or you may find you need to tone down the compression to get a satisfactory result.

Mike Power Hi Dunking, it would depend on how efficiently the pdfXchange tool is making those PDF files - and how important it might be to you to make them smaller still. I would recommend trying the free trial version of NXPowerLite on some of your files to see whether it makes enough of a difference for you or not.

HJ B @Mike Power

Many thanks for the information. I am purchasing the program since it clearly has some capabilities that may be of use, beyond the shrink functions that are in Adobe Acrobat Pro. (My main interest is with regard to pdfs and Word documents).

However, the information you have provided does not touch upon some key aspects of working with pdfs.

A. Broadly speaking, there are three types of pdfs. I am sure you know all of this, but I need to say it in order to express my further questions.

1. A pdf that is created from a text document, such as MS Word.
2. A pdf that is created from a scan, and is entirely a graphic.
3. Type 2, but an additional Acrobat function, creates and invisible back document through optical character recognition. In that way, the document can be searched and parts can be copied and pasted into other media, such as Word. The disadvantage of this type 3 is that the OCI result will make mistakes that cannot be seen by reading the document. Thus, a word in the graphic may be Mike, but the hidden back document may have read it as Mihe. A search for Mike, will not catch that.

Each of these types have the further possibilities of being protected from reading by a password or protected as to various modifications by a password, or both. As you have noted, they may also carry metadata put there by the original document or by the pdf creation document.

B. 1. Do you have any information as to how your program impacts the various types of pdfs?

2. If applied to a type 2 document, does it impair the ability to turn it into a type 3 document.

3, Is your program restricted by password protection that may be on the pdf?

4. Adobe and MS Word have the ability to convert a pdf into a word document. Is that ability impacted by the prior use of your program on the pdf?

5. Does your program preserve all of the formatting and pagination of the original pdf?

6. When your program is used to modify a pdf, does the new pdf include metadata showing that your program was used and what types of modifications were made?

These questions all sound technical, but in business and legal environments, it is important to know whether a modified pdf can be counted upon to have precisely the same informational content and capabilities as the original pdf.

C. A suggestion. This relates to all of the kinds of documents that NXPowerLite works on. It is easy for a person or an organization to buildup a huge collection of documents. For the sake of organization, documents can be put into appropriately named folders, and the document, itself, can have an appropriately descriptive name. However, those naming conventions have their practical limitations. I think it would be great if the user could easily embed, words or phrases, as metadata, that could then be searched for as easily as a search for a file or folder name. A search for C123 would, for example, yield all documents relating to client 123. A search for T59, across all folders, would yield all real estate contracts (topic 59). A search for DC2024-12. Would yield all documents created in December 2024. A combination would yield all real estate contracts created in December 2024.

I note this because useful and reliable organization is now generally more important than file size. Your familiarity with the innards of documents may enable you to also help improve the problems of file organization and retrieval.

Mike Power Hi HJ B,

A/B: Toward the bottom of this page you'll find a section that discusses the different types of PDF and what NXPowerLite does to them:
https://neuxpower.com/compress-pdf
Our software does not affect the text or hidden text put there by OCR software.

2: It would be possible to impair OCR if you reduced the resolution of a full-page graphic enough. However, if you keep the settings balanced then this should not cause enough noise in the graphic to confuse OCR.

3. It cannot bypass passwords - so any documents with passwords will be skipped.

4. No.

5. Yes.

6. NXPowerLite saves metadata in the file to show that it has been compressed using NXPowerLite and the settings that were used.

C. Thanks for the suggestion we'll take it onboard and give it some thought. I did do a quick search and it seems like there's something a bit like this in Windows already - although how usable it is I cannot vouch for - sharing in case you find it useful:
