Compress PDF →Frequently Asked Questions
Does High compression blur the PAN photo?
Slightly — the photo is rasterised at lower resolution. The printed PAN number stays sharp because pdf-lib targets image streams, not text glyphs.
What if my PAN is password-protected?
The e-PAN from NSDL/UTIITSL is locked with your DOB (DDMMYYYY). Unlock via /unlock-pdf first, then compress.
Will the holographic security feature survive?
Holography only exists on physical PAN cards, not digital e-PANs. Compressed digital PANs preserve all printed and digital security features.
