   Does anyone know of a way to replicate the 'Save As Reduced Size PDF' or the 'Save as Optimized' functions through DebenuPDF?

	The thing I discovered here is that the designers were sending us the PDF templates which included 'Piece Information' which is added by Indesign, Illustrator etc to enable them to edit it when loaded into those apps. This was not needed for running it through QuickPDF so we removed it (you can do it in Acrobat). Does anyone know a way to do this in QuickPDF? Thanks. Russell

	Without images, embedded fonts and other files there isn't much to save cause there's only ascii-code. If there are images inside a pdf often it'll be jpeg and this format is already compressed. Using uncompressed image types inside a pdf should be the only point where a compress process would be useful and make sense. QuickPDF doesn't support this functionality in a proper way.

	Thanks Ingo. If you see my second post above the issue was the 'piece information' which is added by Illustrator etc. This enables apps like Illustrator to edit the document when it is reloaded. This isn't needed for teh work we are doing so can be removed. While we have had this removed by the designer it would be good to know if there was a way to remove it using QuickPDF.

	Hi Russel, it's a peace of code inserted by the Illustrator for later using by Illustrator. I don't think that this could be removed by QuickPDF. Why you want to remove it? It's only code less than 1 kb i think? You won't win a lot ;-) Try to open the pdf with Notepad or any other Editor. Perhaps you can find the Illustrator-code... then check for special tags... then try to remove it after reading the pdf-code into a string or stream and save it.
	Cheers, Ingo
