PDF File Size Compressor

[drustar]

Is there such a utility that does that? If so, please reply and provide a link too. Thanks.

Dear Drustar,

I don't know of any third party shareware programs, but Acrobat 6 Pro is meant to 'recompress' PDFs from Print to Screen.

Sorry that I wasn't more help...

I think you can simply make the images within them smaller or lower resolution. Try using JPEG's instead of TIFF's etc.

You can always compress the resultinng file with StuffIt.

Simply downsample all graphics using Distiller.

There is a PDF compressor app available, the demo was on the cover disc of either MacFormat or Macworld sometime in the last six months. I can't remember the name but I'll keep looking.

I did test it and a achieved 20% or so reduction in PDF size but it wasn't enough for me so I trashed the demo.
