How to Compress PDFs with OpenClaw
Batch compress PDFs with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Automate PDF optimisation across document libraries.
Tool
OpenClaw automates PDF compression across large document collections — optimise a backlog of stored files, compress newly generated reports on a schedule, and maintain a size-optimised archive without manual processing.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw
1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp2Call tools directly from OpenClaw

Once connected (see setup above), use the Compress tool:
- Provide a list of PDF URLs: "Compress all these PDFs"
- OpenClaw processes each file and returns compressed download links
- Log size reductions and store compressed file URLs
- Route the optimised files to your storage or distribution system
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Compress tool
Compress all PDFs in this list and return a summary of original size, compressed size, and percentage reduction for each: [list of URLs].
Tips
- Run compression on your entire PDF archive to identify and resolve oversized files
- Schedule PDF compression to run automatically after documents are generated
- Track cumulative size savings to quantify storage cost reduction over time
