Practical cautions

PDF workflows can change page order, compression quality, permissions, metadata, or readable text. Keep the source material available until PDF Compressor has produced an output you can inspect in the final context.

Accessibility notes

The PDF Compressor panel uses named controls and a labelled output area so keyboard and screen-reader users can follow the workflow. If visual formatting matters, review the copied result in its final context because spacing, contrast, or symbols can carry meaning.
