A long PDF behind a link usually shows nothing until the whole file has arrived. A linearized PDF - Acrobat calls it Fast Web View - is ordered so the first page comes first: the reader shows it at once and fetches the rest as you read. Linearize PDF rewrites a file that way. Pages, text and pictures stay exactly as they are; only the order of the bytes changes. It all happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

요약

  1. Drop your PDFs on the page, or press Add files.
  2. Check the list: each file says whether it will be linearized or already is.
  3. Type the password of any locked file.
  4. Press Linearize PDF: the file is saved to your device straight away.

Add the files

Drop the PDFs anywhere on the page, or press Add files. The tool has no settings - each file is judged as it arrives. The list says Will be linearized, Already linearized or Password needed, and the rail tallies them. An already linearized file is skipped, since a copy would only look like something happened.

Linearize PDF with three files: two marked Will be linearized, the web copy of the brochure Already linearized; the rail says 2 files will be rewritten, 1 is skipped

When it is worth it

  • Worth it for a PDF that is served from a website or sent as a link: a catalogue, a price list, a long report on your site.
  • No difference for a file opened from the disk - it is all there already.
  • Not smaller: linearizing doesn't shrink the file; Compress PDF does.

Run it last: most other tools rewrite the file, which undoes the linearization. Compress first, then linearize.

Linearize and save

Press Linearize PDF. The file is saved to your device at once with "_linearized" in its name - several files together as a ZIP. A file with a password to open is included once you click it in the list and type its password.

Limits

Without an account, and with a free one, you can linearize two files in a run, each up to 15 MB. With Pro there is no limit on the number or the size.
