MRC PDF Kompressor Daniel Kreutz

MRC PDF Kompressor is a professional document compression tool designed to convert scanned images and PDF files into compact, searchable PDFs. It uses Mixed Raster Content (MRC) technology to split pages into high-resolution text masks, colour layers, and smoothed backgrounds, achieving up to 95% file size reduction while maintaining crisp text quality. The software supports PDF/A standards for archiving and includes optional OCR for adding invisible text layers, making documents searchable.

Key Features:

• PDF/A Compliance: Supports PDF/A-1b, -2b, -2u, -3b, -3u, and -4 output, validated with veraPDF.
• OCR Integration: Adds invisible text layers for searchability using local PaddleOCR models.
• Batch Processing: Handles folders of files and custom profiles for consistent processing.
• Command-Line Scripting: Fully scriptable with exit codes, progress tracking, and profile support.
• Professional Compression: Uses JBIG2 for pattern-safe text masks and JPEG 2000 or JPEG for backgrounds.

Target Audience and Benefits: Ideal for archivists, businesses, and technical professionals who need to manage large volumes of scanned documents. MRC PDF Kompressor delivers highly compressed, searchable PDFs that meet archival standards, reducing storage costs while preserving document fidelity. It is free for private individuals and small businesses under the PolyForm Small Business License.
