  A dive into PDF optimization

• There are numerous ISO standards for PDF
  Everyone knows about PDF and PDF/A. However, some other standards cover specific domains: printing and prepress with PDF/X and PDF/VT, engineering with PDF/E, and there is even an ISO for making PDFs accessible to people with disabilities (PDF/UA).
• Accessible PDF is on the rise, administrations, companies, and contractors need to get ready.
  You make a PDF accessible by tagging it correctly so assistive technologies can read it.
• It is possible to optimize PDF documents AND processes dramatically thanks to well-structured PDFs and various compression techniques which reduce the size of documents without altering their quality.

For those of you who are interested in learning more details about the ISO standards, below you will find a link with documentation to download:
