After reviewing the browser issues with PDF compression (Portable Document Format or .PDF files), Port80 decided that there was a viable possible solution and added default support for PDF compression in httpZip. The only limitation to consider is that httpZip will only compress PDFs over 15,000 bytes or 14.65 kb in size. This limitation was put in place due to irresolvable browser decompression bugs for files smaller than this size. Otherwise, you should now see some compression benefits for speed and bandwidth with httpZip’s default PDF compression support.
