Case Study: Black & Veatch achieves 10x file-size reduction and faster document access with Foxit Software's PDF Compressor

File Compression and the Department of Homeland Security

Black & Veatch faced the challenge of converting time‑critical Department of Homeland Security documents into a standardized format and reducing their size for database storage and rapid access by DHS personnel. The files needed to be viewable quickly and reliably while meeting tight deadlines.

Black & Veatch licensed Foxit PDF Compressor with OCR to convert and compress all documents into PDFs, achieving compression ratios of about 9–10x (10x or higher). The result was smaller, consistent files that eased storage, sped transmission to clients, met deadlines, and reduced time and costs.
