PDF Compressor comes with an intuitive and easy to use interface that makes it suitable for both for experienced and inexperienced users. The main interface comprises of a medium-sized, non-adjustable window that shows a simple button, until you add files to it. This can be done either by drag and drop or by using the explorer interface. If you choose to add more than one file then you are presented with a preview in separate tabs.
You are next presented with a slider, which you are able to define the level of quality you need for your files. This is a simple way to reduce or increase the percentage you want alter in your document. As soon as you have made your configuration changes, you just hit Compress.
