If large PDF files give you headaches because they take too much space on your hard-disk, it’s probably the right time to give Nice PDF Compressor a shot because this application has been specifically designed to tackle this issue.
The main purpose of the app is to compress PDF files and thus help you save some space, but is it really worth the effort? Some would say yes, but only if the program is indeed efficient.
Nice PDF Compressor doesn’t come with an interface per se, but with a wizard configuration screen that guides you through the whole compression process.
There are two different compression algorithms, Flate and RunLength, and three compression levels, default, fastest and maximum so it’s all just a matter of clicks until you’re done.
But once again, here comes the question: is it really efficient? Well, we’d say no, because after our test, the new PDF file had exactly the same size as the original one. We’ve tried it several times, with different files and other settings, and the result wasn’t much different.
Plus, we’ve received reports from users claiming that in some cases, the final size of the file was even bigger than the original one’s…
Overall, Nice PDF Compressor could really well be considered a waste of time and money, since it costs that much to unlock its full powers. But it’s probably worth a shot, just to see what this is all about…
