namespace TestConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Pdf4meClient.Instance.Init("sample-not-working-token-aaaaaaa");

            var req = new Optimize()
            {
                Document = new Document()
                {
                    DocData = File.ReadAllBytes(@"c:\test.pdf"),
                    Name = "test.pdf",
                },

                OptimizeAction = new OptimizeAction()
                {
                    Profile = OptimizeActionProfile.Max,
                    UseProfile = true,
                }
            };

            var optimizedDocument = Pdf4meClient.Instance.PdfClient.OptimizeAsync(req).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
