Swiss-based file compressor balesio has added PDF file compression to its space reduction capabilities for Microsoft Office and image files.
balesio's FILEminimizer Server software, uses a native format optimisation process, effectively recoding how data is stored in PDF target files without altering its format.
This means the files can be read by the originating application without having to be converted by a reader application first.

Swiss Windows data reduction startup balesio has introduced the FILEminimizer FMA-4800 Series Appliance to suck the fat out of unstructured Windows files.
These include Office, Excel, PowerPoint and SharePoint files and other unstructured – meaning not-database – files in the Windows PC and server world. The software, which balesio announced last week, contains content-aware algorithms which remove redundant data from such files and remove unnecessary colours and resolution from images in a way it calls "visually lossless". The result is claimed to be files that are readable by the original Windows application, indistinguishable to the human eye from the originals, and up to 90 per cent smaller in size – your mileage might vary of course.

balesio's Native File Optimization (NFO) software technology analyses unstructured data files and restores their contents in a visually lossless manner with a smaller file size. The optimized and reduced files can still be read by their originating applications, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, SharePoint and Excel.
This approach is very much like that of the Dell-acquired Ocarina, which optimised and reduced the size of various image formats in a visually lossless manner but requiring an Ocarina reader to read the optimised files.

Reduce Bloat on SharePoint and Outlook up to 70 Percent: If you work in an administrative role with SharePoint or Exchange Server, you know how quickly these systems can become burdened by excess file storage. This leads organizations to enact retention and archiving policies, sometimes to a fairly restrictive extent that can hinder worker efficiency. (With Outlook search, you can find just about anything. That is, until those emails get eaten up by the retention policy.) But what if there was an easier way to reduce the bloat?
There is a product from balesio that could help. Essentially, it's a product that takes Microsoft Office files (especially Word and PowerPoint) and makes them measurably smaller. The product does not compress the files—it just looks for inefficiencies (unnecessarily large image files, for instance) and automatically corrects them.

Considering the fact that we speak to storage managers everyday that are dealing with TBs of Office productivity data, this product can save significant storage space. It's also important to consider that Microsoft Office files are the most often emailed data type. That means this up to 90% reduction with FILEminimizer Server will help email stores and the bandwidth needed when emailing files.

FILEminimizer Pictures compresses all kinds of images up to 99%. This is terrific for emailing, since large photos mean slow downloads and large storage requirements. You can do single images or a whole photo album at once. When we tried it, most of our photos were 94% compressed, though some did reach the 99% level. The recipient does not have to unzip the file to view it.

Image files can really inflate the size of an email, web page, or a document; FILEminimizer Suite makes it easy to reduce the size of these images. While one can use a traditional image editor to tweak the image and reduce its size, many users lack the technical savvy or time to do this efficiently.

How effective is this tool? Very effective, particularly with graphics files. In my tests using its standard compression, it reduced graphics files by approximately 90 percent on average. FILEminimizer Suite shrank dozens of photos with little to no perceivable quality loss.
