Summary: PDF compressing built in
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org

SUMMARY
Currently it would seem that if you want to reduce file size of a pdf (E.g. a
scanned 2 page form which you've then annotated and is now 12MB for some reason
- It was 512KB when scanned), you have to resort to the command line... or a
separate piece of software not available as a flatpak supporting Wayland)...
It would be much neater for such functionality to be built into document
viewer/editor.
Note: I'm referring to flattering layers and compressing embedded images not
just data compression of pdf file.
Potential bug: Is it a bug that a 2 page PDF goes from 512KB when scanned via
Nextcloud iOS app, and then becomes 12MB after it's annotated in okular - just
a dozen text boxes added to form).
