Smaller file preset. Download the source and result PDFs above to compare small characters and thin table details.
These reference files use the same PDF rendering library and presets as Pageivo with a Node canvas. Browser JPEG encoding can change file size and appearance. The percentages apply only to this sample, and the scan already has no text layer.
Large PDFs can be difficult to email or upload. Pageivo rebuilds each page using a quality preset you choose, which is especially effective for scanned and image-heavy documents.
