Frequently asked questions
What does fast web view do?
It puts the first page and its resources at the start of the file, so a browser can show page one while the rest is still loading.
Does it change how the PDF looks?
No. The pages are the same; only the order of the data inside the file changes.
Does it make the file smaller?
Sometimes a little. To shrink a PDF, use Compress PDF first, then linearize the result.
Does my server need anything special?
Most web servers already support it. They need to allow range requests, which is the usual setting.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. It even works with the internet switched off.
