How to make a PDF open fast on the web (Fast Web View): a step-by-step guide

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

• Make it smaller first? Compress PDF.
• A file that doesn't open? Repair PDF.
• Several files into one before publishing? Merge PDF.
