Package Exports

pdfpressor
pdfpressor/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pdfpressor) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

📄 PDF Compressor

pdfpressor is a Node.js library for compressing PDF files using rasterization and JPEG compression. It intelligently detects image-heavy PDFs and applies lossy compression using pdf-lib, sharp, and pdf-to-img.

📦 Installation

npm install pdfpressor

✨ Features

Detects image-heavy PDFs using a simple heuristic.
Rasterizes pages and compresses them as JPEGs.
Preserves text/vector PDFs with minimal changes.
Configurable DPI and JPEG quality.
Optional forced rasterization.

🚀 Usage

const { compressPdf } = require('pdfpressor');

compressPdf('input.pdf', 'output.pdf', 150, 70)
  .then(stats => {
    console.log('Compression stats:', stats);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error('Compression failed:', err);
  });

Parameters

input (string) – Path to the source PDF file.
output (string) – Path to the output compressed PDF.
dpi (number, optional) – DPI for rasterization (default: 150).
quality (number, optional) – JPEG quality (default: 70).
force (boolean, optional) – Force rasterization even if not image-heavy.
