title: How can I optimize my pdf repository after splitting it by page?
body: <p>I have about 20 large pdfs which I have split by pages for easier access.  When I split it by pages using qpdf I am observing an inflation of 10x in total size, meaning that I have some redundant data in all per-page pdfs. It is very likely stored fonts that are cause of the bloat.  Is there a way to externalize these fonts (like the user can install those fonts beforehand on their devices)? My goal is that once I split the pdfs by page the total size should be within 1x-2x of original so that I can host it on my website.</p>
  <p>Here is the sample pdf from repository</p>
  <p><a href="https://www.mea.gov.in/Images/CPV/Volume17_Part_III.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.mea.gov.in/Images/CPV/Volume17_Part_III.pdf</a></p>
  <p>Any help regarding pdf splitting is welcomed</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
