PDF optimizer.

Does anyone know if the PDF Optimizer provided in Acrobat Pro XI can be called as an API from another application program? If the API exists where can it be obtained?

Ah, I see…

If you are looking to do this from a service…then Adobe offers a server-side/on-prem component called AEM Forms which includes this capability (and admittedly a LOT of others).

We also have a Java Library that you can license from Datalogics, but it’s not as complete.

I should have been a little more detailed on what I need. We currently run a process that converts AFP's to PDF's. Some of the new PDF's are getting extremely large. I'd like to be able to add a step to the process to optimize/compress the document with minimal degradation in the image. I've used the save to WEB Mobile function in Acrobat Pro on one document and got the results I need. I'd like to integate the compression/optimization used in the IDE's save function but in my existing webservice. Do you know if the function is available as a Jar to be consumed in a java app, or as a stand alone API?

It can be called from an Acrobat plugin. You could write a plugin and also have that talk to your external application.
