As mentioned in PDFBox 2.0.2 migration guide we are using PDSream object with
COSName.FLATE_DECODE which should compress the pdf.

The migration guide (https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/migration.html) mentions
PDStream only once: "Parsing the Page Content", and it mentions that in 2.0 the
use of PDStream is no longer needed for parsing, so why would you use that one
for compressing?
Plus:
- The current version is 2.0.3 (but this won't help)
- PDF files are already compressed, unless the creator was not very good at it
- PDStream does not do what you thought it does
We can have a look at your PDF, please upload it and post to the users mailing
list or include it in your identical stackoverflow question. Currently, this
issue is rather a "how to" question. With a bit of a stretch, it could be
considered an enhancement request.
> PDF Compress using PDStream is not working.

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: PDFBox 2.0.2 version
> Reporter: Shubhangi Gojir Nipane
> Priority: Blocker
>
> We are trying compress PDF using PDFBox 2.0.2 version.
> As mentioned in PDFBox 2.0.2 migration guide we are using PDSream object with
> COSName.FLATE_DECODE which should compress the pdf.
> 1)
> {code}
> File toCompress = new File("toCompress.pdf");
> File compressedOutputFile = new File("compressedFile.pdf");
> try {
> PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();
> InputStream in = new FileInputStream(toCompress);
> OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(compressedOutputFile);
> PDPage page = new PDPage();
> doc.addPage(page);
> PDStream stream = new PDStream(doc, in, COSName.FLATE_DECODE);
> doc.save(out);
> doc.close();
> } catch (Exception e) {
> }
> {code}
> above code snippet gives us blank compressed file with size 0.
> 2) We try to load pdf stream data on document and then compress it .
> {code}
> File toCompress = new File("toCompress.pdf");
> File compressedOutputFile = new File("compressedFile.pdf");
> try {
> PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();
> doc.load(toCompress)
> InputStream in = new FileInputStream(toCompress);
> OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(compressedOutputFile);
> PDPage page = new PDPage();
> doc.addPage(page);
> PDStream stream = new PDStream(doc, in, COSName.FLATE_DECODE);
> doc.save(out);
> doc.close();
> } catch (Exception e) {
> }
> {code}
> here we get new compressed file which is having bigger size than original one.
> So in short for compression using PdfBox 2.0.,2 version is not working.
> Please guide us how to do compress PdfBox 2.0.,2 version.
