I'm really not sure how to explain how awesome this script is, but after many hours of trying to figure out how to reduce the size of a pdf file, here is the most amazing find of my day.
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf
This was able to convert my 6.4Mb file down to a measely 155Kb. Need I say more? :)
Now to make my day complete, if only I could find a means of being able to change the metadata inside the pdf file without having to download 3rd party software :( I just want to know how to view it.
