Ascomp PDF-Compress
Ascomp PDF-compress provides PDF compression so you can optimise your PDF files so that they don't take up more storage space than necessary. Depending on the structure and content of the PDF document, up to 95 percent compression can be achieved. In a test with more than 1,000 randomly selected PDF files from different sources, an average compression ratio of close to 50 percent was achieved.
Ascomp PDF-compress uses different approaches to compression. For example, images contained in a document can be lossless compressed, special optimisation technology (MRC) can be applied, and blank pages and annotations can be removed from the PDF structure. Optionally, image quality may also degrade in stages, and optimisation for web display may be performed.
Ashampoo Photo Recovery
Ashampoo Photo Recovery recovers deleted or corrupted image files. Either scan individual files for contained images or entire disk drives. You can even recover your photos from damaged RAW files or formatted disks. The latest version supports the recovery of embedded images from corrupted documents (e.g. PDF, Word, etc.) and various added RAW and image formats yield even better search results. New search filters help you better manage huge file amounts and allow you to precisely filter your results either by format, size or resolution.
