What makes Acrobat Pro so good at creating small pdfs...

... and what can you replace it with?

With the impending demise of the CS suite in 10.14, I have been testing replacements. As explained elsewhere Affinity provides excellent software at a fraction of the cost and without subscription.

However finding a replacement pdf creator has stumped me so far. All the built-in creators in scanning applications create files typically twice the size of anything Acrobat produces. My workflow is to scan with *whatever* is at hand (or directly from Acrobat if the device is Twain compliant) and then run it through OCR in Acrobat: de-skews anything that needs to be and divides file size by two (for the same visible quality). If I'm bothered I also carry out another save in 'reduced size mode' which makes the file compatible with Acrobat 9 or above only. That saves another 10%.

So, what's Adobe's secret sauce? Does anybody else come close?

Thanks

François
