A challenge many managed IT services providers face is the types of PDF files and other documents you get from customers and vendors. The sheer size of some of these documents can be staggering. Graphic artists, for example, often produce rich, graphic-intensive documents.
Getting a file from a vendor or client that's 20, 30 or 40 megabytes in size can be daunting. They're too big to put on your website or download on a mobile device or on a desktop computer with bandwidth limits and slow download speeds. As noted in a recent lifewire.com article, you want to use PDFs "in an effective way without annoying your readers or driving them to find the content they want elsewhere."
PDF files can be challenging in other ways, too. Data extraction, conversion and file management can all be difficult, especially if you're using a basic version of your favorite PDF tool.
A great tool for solving these challenges is to use Ilovepdf.com.
How Does ilovepdf.com Work?
ilovepdf.com offers users a web-based suite of tools to complete different tasks necessary when working with PDF files. It has three levels of pricing, including a free option.
It's simple and fast to use. One of our favorite features is Compress PDF. It lets you take a PDF on your computer or in your system and upload it to the ilovepodf.com website. Once the file is uploaded, you can choose from several compression options:
- Extreme Compression, which gives you a high compression rate but less quality
- Recommended Compression, which offers good quality while reducing the file size reasonably
- Less Compression, which maintains a high level of quality but reduces the amount of compression
The web program quickly performs the desired compression, makes the new file available for download and shows you how much smaller your new PDF is.
File compression helps to make PDF files more manageable and friendlier to your MSP website. It will be easier to put in an email or use for other marketing purposes.
