Hi,
We will scan documents (all of A4 sized) to TIFF file and will compress it to size in the range of 250 to 300 KB for some 10 pages (A4 sized papers). But when we convert the TIFF pages into PDF, resulting PDF file size is about 2.7 MB to 3 MB, 10 times more than original TIFF file size. Similarly 10.6 MB was the PDF file size for 900 KB TIFF file. What may be wrong here?
We need guidance on two things.
(1) Why not PDF is created with the original TIFF file size, why size is growing? How to preserve the original properties like file size for a PDF file?
(2) what are the compressions can be applied in PDF sharp to reduce the file size.

Hi Thomas Hoevel,
Thank you for your reply which solved our one problem. By applying JPG compression, we are getting PDF files with less file size. But, now how to compress already created PDF files? Is it possible to read each page one by one and apply any compression on them, without loosing the quality? Is there any re-source link available?

Hi Thomas Hoevel,
Is there any way to optimize the PDF files, which are already created? Each PDF files size too big and we have left with re-generating the PDF files from scratch if optimization do not possible on these PDF files. Any solution available from PDF sharp?
