What is the VeryPDF Rasterize PDF API?
The VeryPDF Rasterize PDF API enables developers to transform standard vector PDFs into single-layer, image-based PDFs. By rasterizing the content, the API effectively locks down the document—making text and vector elements uneditable—while preserving the visual layout and design. This is especially useful when distributing read-only documents, archiving files for long-term storage, or ensuring consistent display across devices and PDF viewers.
Why Rasterize a PDF?
✅ Content Protection – Prevents users from extracting or editing text, paths, and vectors.
✅ Visual Consistency – Ensures the PDF looks exactly the same across different platforms, even with complex graphics.
✅ Simplified Distribution – Removes dependencies on fonts, rendering engines, or PDF readers.
✅ Compression & Optimization – Convert large PDFs into optimized image-based formats with adjustable resolution and quality.
