About Compress app
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format that preserves document formatting and layout across platforms and devices. It stores text, images, fonts, and graphics in a self-contained manner, allowing sharing and viewing of documents regardless of the software, hardware, or operating system used. PDFs are known for their versatility, as they can include a wide range of content, from simple text documents to complex presentations, forms, and interactive elements, and provide features such as password protection and digital signatures to improve security.
Due to its flexibility, a PDF file might contain a lot of needless data, causing it to become larger. This bigger size creates problems for publishing on websites, sharing on social media, sending via email, and storing in archives.
