PDF compressor #1672

@BitShifterTom

Description

@BitShifterTom

What type of request is this?

New tool idea

Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

Sometimes when uploading a PDF document to Company or Email-Service, the size of accepted files is limited (i.e. 5MB or 20MB).
Compressing the PDF file is needed before.

Is their example of this tool in the wild?

Under Linux, I use Ghostview to compress such files:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=document_compressed.pdf document.pdf

Not tested: It shall be possible with Qpdf too:
qpdf --compress-streams=y --object-streams=generate document.pdf document_compressed.pdf
