Re: [Suggestion] Add PDF linearization tool
Hello Jensen Head,
Fast Web View or PDF Linearization is actually quite a complex task, and we've had a ticket for this for quite some time:
#3616: FR: Support the creation of Fast Web View PDF's
However this is still a work in progress, so I do not have an estimate as to when this might be ready and available.
Kind regards,
Stefan

I am currently using the free open source qpdf console application for this.

This can be done with a ready-made lightweight FOSS application, the license of which (Apache License 2.0) allows the possibility of using the code in a proprietary commercial product.
