Balesio Reduces Size of PDF Files

balesio AG released FILEminimizer PDF, the latest addition to its data reduction products.

Using balesio’s native format optimisation technology FILEminimizer PDF reduces the size of PDF documents including photographs and graphics by as much as 90%, generating optimised, high-quality files primed for email sharing. With PDF documents taking up significant space in email systems and in costly primary storage in many organisations FILEminimizer PDF allows users to reduce their bandwidth needs, lower or postpone storage purchases and realise financial savings.
 
Mirroring other balesio products, FILEminimizer features a multi-lingual client interface and 50 powerful compression settings for visually lossless PDF files optimisation. Thanks to its transparent integration with Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, PDF attachments are automatically optimised directly before sending out.
 
balesio’s FILEminimizer is compatible with Microsoft outlook 2003 and 2010 as well as Lotus Notes 6.x or higher; it will be joined by FILEminimizer Suite and FILEminimizer Server later in the year.
 
Christoph Schmid, Chief Operating Officer at balesio, said:" There is so much potential to drastically reduce corporate storage requirements created by PDF documents that the development of FILEminimizer PDF was a key element of our product roadmap. Since the introduction of our first FILEminimizer software the response has been incredibly positive and we are excited that balesio is steadily making a name for itself in the data management market."
 
balesio’s native format optimisation technology is a set of content-aware algorithms developed for unstructured file formats such as PDF files, Microsoft Office files, PowerPoint presentations and images. Being a native process, the original file format is preserved making a subsequent rehydration or decompression unnecessary.
