NXPowerLite will compress PDF, Microsoft Office and JPEG files simply and effectively, making them easy to email as attachments. It is especially effective on files that don’t zip well. Optimized files stay in the same format - a PDF remains a PDF. It will look and feel identical to the original, just much smaller. File Optimization tackles individual elements inside a document, assessing how to reduce each component in turn. By examining each component in isolation it will choose the most effective method of reduction rather than applying general settings across the whole file. This approach creates much smaller files that remain in the same format, so no readers or decompression tools are required.
Optimize or Compress? NXPowerLite now does both, so when you send your email it will try to optimize and compress and apply whichever is the most effective technique at reducing file size - in some cases both.
NXPowerLite integrates with email to shrink your attachments as they are sent.
NXPowerLite File Compression Technology. All our products use the same core technology for compressing Adobe PDF, Microsoft Office, JPEG and TIFF files without changing their file format. Compared with traditional compression, File Optimization takes a different approach to tackling the problem of large files. Its remarkable performance stems from the fact that many large files, such as PDFs and Microsoft Office documents, contain a great deal of hidden bloat that can be stripped away or 'optimized' in order to reduce file size without changing the file format or affecting the visual integrity of the file.
Reduces file size without changing format. File Optimization carefully targets and removes excess data from files, leaving them smaller but in all other ways identical to the originals. This ensures that file owners will not be aware of any changes to their files.
Effective on already compressed files. Microsoft Office files are often already compressed and contain lots of pre-compressed content like JPEG images. Unlike standard compression technologies, File Optimization is very effective on these compressed files.
Reduces photos without down-sampling/scaling. It substantially reduces the file size of JPEGs by re-encoding the image using more efficient settings without reducing the image resolution. The image remains visibly unchanged but takes up less disk space.
File Optimization technology is designed to avoid negatively affecting document compliance obligations. The technology simply makes imperceptible visual trade-offs to reduce file size. The primary focus is ensuring embedded media (photos, graphics etc.) are stored in the documents efficiently while unseen background data is purged from the files. File Optimization sets out to maintain the visual integrity of the content so at all times optimized files should be indistinguishable from the originals by the human eye.
RESIZES IMAGES. Images are often inserted into PDF files at much larger sizes than necessary. For example, a photograph taken by a digital camera might contain five million or more pixels, but most of this detail will not be visible unless 'zoom' controls are used. NXPowerLite can scale these images down to target a particular resolution for display or print.
CONVERTS IMAGES TO MORE EFFICIENT FORMATS. PDF files allow a wide range of inefficient image formats to be stored inside them natively. NXPowerLite converts bi-level (black and white) images to lossless JBIG2 encoding, which typically generates files one third to one fifth the size of CCITT Group 4 encoding. NXPowerLite also converts many other image types to JPEG where appropriate.
ADJUSTS THE JPEG QUALITY OF IMAGES. NXPowerLite can also apply additional compression to images that are already in the JPEG format. This can squeeze out impressive additional savings without noticeable loss of quality, even at 100% zoom.
REMOVES PRIVATE APPLICATION DATA. Applications that create PDF files, such as Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat, can store information within a PDF for use when editing the file. This information can only be used by the application which created the file and is not needed to display the PDF. For most cases we recommend deleting this data, as it will have no effect on the use of the PDF file.
Official Adobe PDF Technology. We use the official Adobe PDF Library to ensure our PDF compression software is robust and reliable, it is the same technology that Adobe uses to build Acrobat.
