| anddam | I have a 13 pages PDF containing pages from an old book, the pages have been scanned as color images, the total file size is about 6MB and I'd like to shrink as much as possible while retaining readability | 18:44.18 |
| | is gs the right tool? | 18:44.22 |
| | oh, I know almost nothing about how pdf format or gs work | 18:44.56 |
| Robin_Watts | anddam: gs is a tool that may be able to help you. | 19:37.21 |
| | You can feed a doc into gs and get it to recompress the pdf, yes. | 19:37.51 |
| | You'll need to fiddle with the settings to get the results as you want. | 19:38.21 |
| | Are you on windows, or linux? | 19:38.32 |
| | gs -o out.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite <other settings go here> in.pdf | 19:39.03 |
| | (on windows, you'll use gswin32c.exe rather than gs) | 19:39.15 |
| | For the other settings, you'll probably want to talk to kens tomorrow (back in about 12 hours or so, normally). | 19:39.55 |
| | But -r 200 or something to set the resolution is a good idea. | 19:40.06 |
