Users are uploading huge PDF files of more than 100MB on our platform. We are creating several tools to manage those files, but keeping the raw file will eat up space, as we are handling several of them. After upload, they will be mainly keep stored for future use.
I am looking for a tool to compress and optimize those PDFs, like a library or an external API that can process that for us.
Thanks
I have been using Ghostscript and Python to get JPEG images from PDF files and that way we have reduced PDF size. But if your average is 100MB then probably those are hi-res images and not sure if your users will accept a quality reduction.
You can store raw files on a cdn service like bunnyCdn. If they want to work with the raw files, you can get it from the cdn service. Compressing is not a persistent solution for space problem. Also it's more safe way, because cdn providers copy your files more than one servers..
Modern cdn solutions have ftp / ssh support so you can easily send files to them...
