Keep routine PDF files lean
Set a recurring schedule for routine PDF optimization. Notis can process a supplied task list with Abstract and send identified PDFs to Api2pdf to reduce their file size.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Optimize PDF
Reduces a PDF’s file size while maintaining its quality.
Why this helps
Large PDFs can take up storage and slow sharing, while remembering to optimize them becomes another recurring task.
- Run PDF optimization on a recurring schedule.
- Use Abstract to process a task list supplied for the run.
- Reduce the size of supported PDFs with Api2pdf.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe that Abstract should process the supplied PDF task list and Api2pdf should optimize each identified PDF.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real PDF and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule discover PDFs automatically?
No. Provide the PDFs or a task list identifying them for each run; the workflow does not assume a file source.
What does optimization do?
Api2pdf optimizes an existing PDF to reduce its file size while maintaining quality.
