Android™ Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Why a PDF Optimization Was Skipped

See more PDF Optimization Examples

Demonstrates the "skipped" array, which lists the options that were asked for but not applied, each with a reason and, where it is page-specific, the pages. An option is skipped when it is reserved for a later release (mergeFontSubsets, compactType1Fonts), when the rules of the file forbid it (objectStreams in a PDF/A-1 file), or when the content could not be parsed safely (tidyContent and coalesceContent on a page whose content stream the parser does not understand). Nothing is ever changed on a guess: an option that cannot be applied safely is skipped and reported. Android™
