PDF Rasterize — Jeff Brand

Rasterize PDFs

Render every page to an image and bundle them back into a single image-only PDF. Optional MRC compression (Foxit’s “Optimize Scanned PDF”) keeps text crisp via JBIG2 while collapsing photos with JPEG/JP2K.

Settings

Resolution

Color Mode

With MRC on, B&W still renders in color so the optimizer can detect text vs photo regions and binarize text via JBIG2.

Optimize (MRC)

Foxit’s “Optimize Scanned PDF” routine. Splits each page into text/line-art (JBIG2) and photo (JPEG/JP2K) layers. Dramatically smaller for scanned-looking content.

Advanced MRC options

Color / gray compression

Quality

Higher = larger file, less artifacts. Foxit default is 33. Only used for JPEG and High modes.

Mono compression

Applied to detected text/line-art regions during MRC analysis.
