Aspose PDF optimisation

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi there,


I am currently evaluating Aspose.PDF as a replacement for another PDF library I am using.

The current library I am using converts HTML to PDF but it doesn’t seem to render the HTML as elements directly on the page but instead embed them as some kind of data object.

This might be a valid approach in terms of the PDF standards but it is causing issues redacting text using a non-Adobe redacting tool.

I’ve tried Aspose’s HTML -> PDF conversion feature and it seems layout the document as elements directly on the page, which I think is a more efficient approach.

Does Aspose have any functionality to read in a PDF and apply these transformations directly to the existing PDF without starting with the original HTML?

I have tried the OptimizeResources(), Optimize() and OptimizeSize() but none of these seem to change the way the original rendered HTML is stored.

Thanks,
Lyndon.

One thought I had was to open the original PDF using Aspose then save it as a different format (e.g. HTML) then importing it back into PDF to re-layout the document.


If such an approach is workable can you please advise the best intermediary format for the data to ensure a lossless conversion (my HTML input includes styles and images).

Hi Lyndon,


Thanks for your inquiry. I am afraid I am unable to understand your requirements completely. I will appreciate it if you please share some sample PDF document and intended PDF output here to describe the requirements.

However, for redacting you may search a text using TextFragmentAbsorber and change its different properties as per your requirements. Please also check other articles in working with text section.
