About

MRC PDF Kompressor converts scanned images into compact PDF files using

Mixed Raster Content (MRC): the page is split into a high-resolution text

mask (JBIG2, pattern-safe without character substitution), separate colour

text layers for stamps and headings, and a smoothed, downscaled background

(JPEG 2000 or JPEG). Typical results are 90-95 % smaller than the original

scan while the text stays crisp. Optional text recognition (OCR, runs

locally) adds an invisible text layer so the PDF becomes searchable.

It also converts PDF files (e.g. from copiers) into small, searchable

PDF/A, keeping existing text, links and bookmarks.

Supports PDF/A-1b, -2b, -2u, -3b, -3u and PDF/A-4 output (validated with

veraPDF), multi-page TIFF, batch

processing of folders, custom profiles and a split-view GUI with live

preview. The command line is fully scriptable (exit codes, progress,

profiles). Free for private individuals and small businesses (PolyForm

Small Business License).
