The study below uses screen.spe.</div> <bR> <div> <B>SPE</B> can also be used on non-Quartz PDF's but will not achieve the same levels of compression when using lossless mode due to the usually better optimized documents produced by other tools.  </div> <bR> <div> However, <B>SPE</B> first examines the document(s), and can apply a number of possible size reduction techniques based on what it finds. These techniques are both general in nature, as well as specific to certain applications (such as InDesign) therefore allowing it to reduce files in the most optimal ways possible.  You can also choose to enable the image processing options in order to reduce file size.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>JRA</B></FONT> conducted three tests on different <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> document sets that were intended for web delivery when they were created, and then we further compressed them with <B>SPE</B>.  The size reductions were 43%, 31%, 58%, averaging 44%.  This makes a difference in performance, as you will see when you open the links below.</div> <bR> <div> We used the server version of <B>SPE</B> to apply uniform compression to sets of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> files that were not originally uniform in their compression.  As you can see in the third test, one file was not reduced at all (it was already optimized), while another was reduced from 4 MB to 1 MB.</div> <bR> <div> <B>SPE</B> is a great tool for applying uniform compression to collections of <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> files, thereby optimizing for web delivery.  This is a great companion product to <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Verdana" ><B>Search</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT>, because it eliminates performance bottlenecks that would be caused by <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> documents that are needlessly large and therefore too slow to load.</div> <bR> <div> At the same time that SPE compresses the files, it can also assign other attributes to the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> files in batch mode, such as security settings and metadata fields, so that the optimized <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> are completely ready for web-based search and retrieval.</div> <bR> <div> We plan on implementing <B>SPE</B> on the server, using web submittal pages to collect <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> files from remote sites.  After being uploaded, they will then be automatically optimized with <B>SPE</B>.</div> <bR> <div> <B>SPE</B> gives you a big performance boost when serving <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#993300" FACE="Verdana" ><B>PDF</B></FONT> on the web!</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>FIRST TEST</U></B></div> <bR> <div>

images that are too degraded.  We recommend the default screen.spe settings for Sage pdfEnhancer, which downsample to 100 dpi while using High JPEG compression.  This eliminates the pixel averaging problem of the med/low setting which distorts the image.</div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
