Request a tool to remove unnecessary pdf renditions
Earlier versions of Meridian required a seperate pdf rendition document even when the originating document is in pdf format. This results in storing two copies of the pdf document. The current version of Meridian does not create a second pdf copy when the originating document is a pdf. We would like to recover the storage space for hundreds of thousands of unnecessary pdf renditions. Currently, there is no native mechanism to do so.

For our use case, our renditions do match the source pdf and no filtering would be needed. If you are to emplement this then I would suggest adding the filtering capabilities to handle the customer use cases that you described.
Thank for submitting this idea.
Would it just be removing the rendition for each document which has a pdf as source, or are filter options required?
In some cases we see that the source document is a pdf and the rendition is a signed copy.
Unfortunately there is also the situation that the pdf rendition does have the same content as the source but still the file is different. So if the rendition pdf is the same as the source pdf we can obviously just remove the rendition, but this may not catch all cases where the rendition pdf can be removed.
