Encoding

Checks if the PDF file contains ASCII- or binary-encoded elements.

ASCII encoding was formerly required to ensure that PDF files could be safely transported via e-mail or the Internet. However, most e-mail software in use today handles non-ASCII documents normally, eliminating the need to ASCII-encode your docu­ment. The increase in file size when you use ASCII encod­ing can be substantial.

Possible fixes

Change the encoding to the desired format (ASCII or binary).
