In-Memory PDF Stream Deduplication & Compression
PDF documents often accumulate significant bloat from uncompressed object streams, redundant font descriptor duplicates, and unreferenced orphan metadata. PDFCore Studio rebuilds the cross-reference table, packs individual objects into consolidated cross-reference object streams (/ObjStm), and applies Deflate compression (/FlateDecode) entirely in browser RAM without uploading your file.
