'Color' preserves all color information — largest file but best visual fidelity. 'Grayscale' removes color, keeping brightness levels — moderate size, ideal for printing. 'JBIG2 Black & White' retains only black and white — ultra-small files, best for text-only scans.
Color encoding preserves appearance virtually identical to the original. Grayscale and black-and-white encoding removes color information, but text and layout remain crisp.

A systematic guide to the two PDF password types (open password vs permission password), how to disable copying/printing/editing, and how to legally unlock restricted PDFs.

Both flattening and rasterizing can lock PDF content, but one preserves text while the other turns everything into an image. This article uses real-world scenarios to break down their differences, trade-offs, and when to use each.

What's the difference between a PDF open password and a permission password? Open passwords use AES-256 to encrypt content and can't be bypassed; permission passwords are merely a 'gentleman's agreement' and can be removed instantly. This article breaks down the underlying mechanisms and best practices for both.
