So there are a lot of reasons why OCR software should generally leave the original PDF image content alone and unmodified unless explicitly told to “save space” (and then it needs do the right thing, too). (It’s just that CCITT Group 4 has been present in the PDF standard since the very beginning, while JBIG2 was introduced by some later revision, apparently 1.4, so the CCITT compression may still be more universally supported in PDF software.)ĮDIT: Actually JBIG2 can be very dangerous to use in lossy mode this became apparent in the curious case of Xerox copier machines which produced copies with altered texts: since the letters 6 and 8 look “similar”, the algorithm might chose to insert the image of a “6” instead of an “8” or vice versa. So as long as a choice is given to the user to not reduce the resolution and not go lossy for even further compression, JBIG2 might actually be the best choice. JBIG2 is much more powerful and compresses even better than the CCITT Group 4 fax encoding and can operate lossless, too. 300dpi is more jaggy than 600dpi - which enough pixels, everything looks smooth.įinereader Pro tends to replace CCITTFaxDecode with JBIG2Decode. Watch out for the /Filter/CCITTFaxDecode - a simplistic app turns this into /Filter/FlateDecode (then it might be lossless conversion, but with a much bigger file size as this compression algorithm is not nearly as well suited for scanned images) or even /Filter/DCTDecode, which is the lossy JPEG The jagginess is of course a matter of the image resolution, i.e. In PDFs produced by a bundled scanner app one typically finds lines like this for the page images: One can easily check what is going on by opening the PDF file with a text editor. No compression Adobe Acrobat: Final size 10. Initial file size: 76 MB, 60 pages, with some color mainly due to aging. by the MacOS Preview app) for printing purposes recompress images, but for archiving purposes it’s a no-go. I turns out that 2 of these 3 OCR programs do a great job of shrinking these files, with no visible loss of resolution, and almost no added effort on my end. Upgrades from earlier single-user versions of either application are 35, and free for users who purchased on or after January 1, 2021. Office Pack licenses start at 249.95 for PDFpen (5 users) and 374.95 for PDFpenPro (5 users). But it seems that on the Mac a lot of companies seem to just take the simplistic approach and use Apple’s PDFKit without a lot of consideration. PDFpen retails for 79.95, PDFpenPro for 129.95 (USD). You need to enter text, select a beautiful font, edit text size. $29.Yes, there are a couple of OCR apps/tools which support the original compression and just add their text layer to the file, which I consider the right thing to do. Emoji Maker Online give you a professional tool allows you to create and edit text with.Personally, I prefer to do most of my annotating with an iPad (and there's a version of PDFpen for iPad (opens in new tab), but I will definitely be turning to PDFpen for Mac for my other PDF editing needs like filling out forms and editing documents. PDFpen is a great PDF editor for the Mac that is full-featured and easy to use. The first time you visit it, the previews display fine, but if you go to another tab and come back, the previews do not show.

Finereader may have an on/off switch for compression, but I’ve never investigated in detail. Or, you can set it so there is no compression at all. Insert and remove pages re-order pages in a PDF by drag & drop You can shrink documents another factor of 2 if you settle for slightly blurred text.Perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on scanned documents.Scan directly from Image Capture or TWAIN scanners.Next I tried to convert an ordinary text document into PDF by using the newly installed PDFpen Pro.
