Processing

Performs linearization when outputting PDF and optimizes it for web display.
Linearization is an optional specification created to display PDF as quickly as possible when opening it in a web browser.

• "-linearize" is a command with a special position of specification. To enable it, specify "-linearize" after the output file or output folder specified by "-o".
• This command is a little special and can be combined with other commands whose output format is PDF. And commands that do not output PDF files cannot be combined.
• Specifically, it can be combined with PDF creation/processing as well as PDF/A conversion such as commands below:
  • -mergeFiles: Merging PDF files
  • -dividePdf: Splitting a PDF File
  • -addPageNumber: Adding Page Number
  • -fixedUpPDFA: PDF/A Conversion
• Even if a file has been linearized and saved, if you add an increment and save the file, the linearization will be canceled when output. Therefore, you will need to specify the linearization again when outputting.

Example of commands

Folder settings: applied

If the output format is PDF, -linearize can be combined with the folder specification of other commands.
At this time, you can process them all at once by specifying the output folder with the -o parameter.

If you specify a folder for output, note that in most folder settings, you will also need to specify the input folder with the -d parameter.
If a folder is specified, linearizes all output PDF files for Fast Web View. The name of the output PDF will be based on the other combined commands.
