I would like to use 'Optimize Scanned Pages' compression to process multiple PDF files.

Question

I have be able to successfully compress PDF files with embedded greyscale images very effectively using your ‘Optimized Scanned Pages’ tool, but I am only able to use this tool on one file at a time from within Acrobat Pro.

I have been able to successfully compress legacy PDF files using your ‘Optimized Scanned Pages’ Tool but I am only permitted to use this as a menu option on 1 file at a time. Is there a way to have Acrobat process multiple PDFs with this tool? Is there a way to invoke this tool as a CLI command that I can run iteratively with a Python Script? Alternatively, can I use your Action Wizard to process and save multiple files?

Thank you
David.

HiDavidB_FV,Thank you for reaching out.Currently, there is no default option to optimise scanned pages in bulk in Acrobat.You can automate this process for multiple PDF files by using Action Wizard, which is specifically designed for batch processing documents.Open Acrobat Pro.Go to All Tools > Use Guided Actions (Action Wizard).Create a New Action.Add the Optimize Scanned Documents stepConfigure your optimisation settings.Check if that works for you.For more information on the action wizard, refer to the following help document:Use guided actions.Let us know if you have any questions.Thanks,Meenakshi
