compress-pdf is disabled

That feature is also missing from my instance. Perhaps it's been removed whilst bugs are resolved https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+compress

@froodle would be able to clarify though as they are the developer of Stirling PDF

@jdaviescoates i don’t think so, i tried to install the app locally with the official docker image and it works well

@Purple8 I have the version (0.36.5) and the file compression works properly.

Strange. I'm on that too but don't seem to have it

[matix131997]

@jdaviescoates And can you write me in which tab/function you are trying to run?

[jdaviescoates]

@matix131997 I haven't tried anything but I don't see any tools related to compression and /compress-pdf/ doesn't exist just like the OP.

Which tool are you using?

[froodle]

A few weeks ago we removed ghostscript and Ocrmypdf (since it uses ghost script) due to licensing issues

For Ocrmypdf we are using tesseract directly so no additional dependencies
For compression we now use the dependency qpdf
(Works better on some PDFs and worse on others, we are trying to improve this)

One functionality that was completely removed with this is pdf/a, we are readding this soon natively

Also any feature that are disabled due to something missing should show in console logs if you check

Interesting - is it the copyleft aspect of the AGPL?

[froodle]

@necrevistonnezr correct

https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/2338 is the code change it seems

[girish]

I have added qpdf now - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/stirling-pdf-app/-/merge_requests/19 . Compress tools are now visible and working.
