External tools

For OCR and advanced compression. PDFApps works without these but two tools require them.

Tesseract OCR

Required by the OCR tool to recognize text in scanned PDFs.

Ghostscript

Used by the "extreme" compression level for maximum file size reduction.

The Windows installer offers to install both automatically. On Linux, install from your package manager.
