[iText-questions] Re: Can I apply ASCII-85 and Flate filters to an existing PDF?

[Steven McNeel]

Thanks.  No, I am not using iText to create my PDF.  I'm using FOP, and I'm 
intentionally creating it without filters so I can later parse it.  But 
after parsing, I'd like to apply a Flate filter, and I need to do this on 
UNIX.  PDF Enhancer is only available for Windows and Mac.  Any other 
suggestions?

        ASCII-85 would ENLARGE your PDF, not reduce it...


 Can iText help me accomplish this?
        If you were creating the PDF from iText directly, it would 
generate a properly filtered PDF.

        If you are using some other tool to create the PDFs, check out PDF 
Enhancer (http://www.apago.com/enhancer.html) for a product to keep your 
PDF file sizes down.
