About pdfRest API Toolkit Self-Hosted
pdfRest is a REST API for high-volume PDF processing, built on the Adobe PDF Library. Call it from any language to convert, generate, extract, secure, and prepare PDFs in production pipelines, chaining calls by passing a resource ID between steps.
Convert Office, HTML, images, email, and Markdown to PDF, and PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, Markdown, PDF/A, PDF/X, and PostScript. Generate PDFs from scratch with text, images, shapes, and attachments, with accessibility tagging. Extract via OCR, text/image extraction, form data, metadata, AI summarization, translation. Secure with signing, encryption, restrictions, watermarking, two-step redaction, and TDM Reserve to opt out of AI training. Handle prepress: color conversion, transparency flattening, page boxes, rasterization. Manage forms: import/export, flatten, XFA-to-AcroForm.
Deploy on pdfRest Cloud (US or EU) or self-host via Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS Marketplace (BYOL) — same API, same code, just change the base URL.

"Pdf Optimizer for Compressing Large PDF Files" 5 out of 5 stars Edited 2022-11-29
Pros: Very simple to install and easy to use. Any changes to be done to increase or decrease compression and quality of the compression can be made to a json file which it uses when doing the compression command. And we can have multiple json files to handle different types of compression.
Cons: There are still 1 or 2 files that do not get compressed.
Overall: Very good software and not too expensive, when it helps to save a lot of storage space. This helps to save on the storage cost.
