Steps to Compress a Word DOC with Java Low Code API

  1. Create an instance of the WordsApi class using your client ID and client secret.
  2. Build a [CompressDocumentOnline](https://reference.aspose.cloud/words/#/op/CompressDocument)Request object, specifying the CompressOptions, the source document, and the desired output file name.
  3. Call the CompressDocumentOnline method to apply the compression to the images in the Word file.
  4. Retrieve and save the compressed output file from the API response.

The steps above illustrate how to compress a Word document online with the Java REST API. Load the source Word file that contains images, create a CompressDocumentOnlineRequest with the appropriate input, output, and compression settings, invoke CompressDocumentOnline, and then store the reduced‑size document returned by the service.
