Compressing PDFs

This article discusses creating PDFs in Bubble applications (using the 'Create PDF' plugin action). If you wish to create PDFs based on a template you have designed in our template editor, please see other sections of the documentation.

If your PDF has a lot of images and charts, the file size can end up being quite large. Fortunately, DocuPotion comes with an option to compress your PDFs.


To compress your PDF, simply set the 'Compress' field to 'yes' in the 'Create PDF' workflow action.

It's always worth experimenting before making a decision on whether or not you need to compress your PDFs. Setting the 'Compress' field to 'yes' will reduce the file size, but this may also have a (small) impact on the quality of your PDF.


Note: the compression will have the biggest impact on PDFs that contain a lot of images/charts. The impact will not be as significant, if your PDF is mainly composed of text elements.
