Frequently Asked Questions
What does linearizing a PDF mean?expand_more
Linearization reorganizes the PDF structure so the first page loads immediately when viewed online, before the rest of the file finishes downloading.
When should I linearize a PDF?expand_more
Linearize PDFs that will be served on websites or shared via direct links, especially large files where fast first-page display matters.
Does linearization change the visual content?expand_more
No. The pages look identical. Only the internal byte order changes to allow progressive loading.
Does linearization increase the file size?expand_more
The size increase is negligible, typically less than one percent, due to a small hint table added at the beginning.
