Frequently asked questions
- What's the maximum file size for ASEP / Gov.gr Public Tender Document Compression?
- The processed file must be under 1.9MB. Photo & PDF Desk uses adaptive compression, starting from the highest quality setting that still preserves legible text, until the file fits.
- Will compression blur my text or signatures?
- No. Text, form fields, and vector graphics (including scanned signatures saved as vectors) are never rasterized or blurred — only embedded raster images inside the PDF are progressively downsampled to hit the size target.
- What format will I get back?
- A standard PDF, compatible with any PDF reader and upload portal.
- Can I choose specific pages to keep?
- Yes — enter a page range like "1-3,5" in the editor and only those pages are kept before any other processing runs.
- Should I scan my documents in color or black and white before uploading here?
- Scan in color if the original has any color elements (a stamp, a colored seal); the monochrome mode in this tool can then convert it afterward for maximum size reduction if the portal accepts black-and-white submissions.
