Creating compact PDF using own software

[xor2]

Hi,

I am currently researching topic to create a compact PDF the similar way Konica Color scanner and printer makes (BizHub).
(there is a great option PDF Compact)

The company I work for, has scanners of another brand (Fujitsu). We started scanning documents of 80 and more pages. When the documents were
smaller the size didn't really matter. We were scanning 300 DPI color. But for such a large number of pages it's unwieldy. The file is of 100 MB size
which makes it not so friendly to share via email.

What makes Konica compact PDF so great is that I get:

- 300 DPI color scan
- the page looks like it was 2 color,
- the parts of the document that are in color are ... in color.

When I remove all graphical content from such a pdf it seems like the whole document is divided into several parts where
color stuff is kept in separate files and other almost monochrome in others.

The problem is I need to incorporate pdf creation in our software so I need:

- 3rd party library to be used in our own application
- clues how to build pdf from scratch (maybe how to lower the quality of the RAW picture from TIFF, BMP etc).

I will be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this ... Thanks!

Re: Creating compact PDF using own software

I recommend you just buy KM equipment..You get the scans you need and you're not spending the next few years trying to create what a group of highly trained engineers have already done. Besides, this site is not really a good place for this kind of info. You may have a few posters asking for details like this, but other than the basic explanation in the SM, all we do is replace a board, not diagnose the scanned data.
