Please note we recommend that this process is only used when advised, to avoid damaging files. Removing NXPowerLite data reduces the quality of images in the file and could lead to images becoming unusable.
Explanation:
NXPowerLite embeds a small metadata “tag” into each successfully processed file. The tag describes the version of NXPowerLite that optimized the file and the settings that were used, and enables NXPowerLite to bypass optimizing the file on subsequent runs. Tagging allows NXPowerlite to ensure that it cannot ‘over-optimize’ images in files, ensuring that the intended original quality is not degraded. Moving or renaming files is completely safe because NXPowerLite will always read this information if it exists.
Sometimes this information needs to be overridden so that the file can be re-optimized. To follow is some steps to take to remove this data from Office files.
Using Microsoft Office (Windows)

Open the file in the Office application (PowerPoint, Word or Excel) - we are using PowerPoint in this example.
Navigate to the 'File' menu item in the Menu ribbon at the top of the screen
Drop down the properties icon and select Advanced Properties
Select the Custom tab from the dialog that is opened
You should see three custom NXPowerLite properties in the Properties section at the bottom:
- NXPowerLiteLastOptimized

- NXPowerLiteVersion
Select each of the custom NXPowerLite properties in turn and click the Delete button to remove the property.
