The Desktop version is build on the same compression engine as the Server version, i.e. TIFF, JPEG, BMP and PNM are processed with the same high compression performance. In contrast to PDF Compressor Server the field of application is the occasional manual conversion, e.g. the digital filing in small or medium sized companies. The application area also extends to the peripheral generation of highly compressed PDFs, e.g. in satellite stations, subsidiaries, regional offices and departments.

The LuraDocument PDF Compressor Desktop converts manually specified single documents. It is executable not only on Windows® 2000/XP but also on Windows® 95/98/Me. The Desktop version compresses an unlimited number of documents but does not support OCR.
