.Dt SHRINKPDF 1

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm shrinkpdf
|
|
.Nd A simple wrapper around Ghostscript to reduce the file size of PDFs
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar infile
|
|
.Op outfile
|
|
.Op resolution_in_dpi
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Inspired by some code found in an OpenOffice Python script,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
feeds a PDF through Ghostscript, which performs lossy recompression
|
|
by such methods as downsampling the images to a lower resolution.
|
|
The result should be (but not always is) a much smaller file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If invoked without
|
|
.Op outfile ,
|
|
the shrunk file is written to standard output.
|
|
If invoked without
|
|
.Op resolution_in_dpi ,
|
|
a default resolution of 72 dpi is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both
|
|
.Op infile
|
|
and
|
|
.Op outfile
|
|
are regular files, the script checks if the shrunk output file is actually
|
|
smaller than the input file.
|
|
If it is not, it writes a message to stderr and copies the input to output.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Reduce PDF resolution to 72 dpi:
|
|
.Dl $ shrinkpdf myfile.pdf >myfile-72dpi.pdf
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Reduce PDF resolution to 300 dpi:
|
|
.Dl $ shrinkpdf myfile.pdf - 300 >myfile-300dpi.pdf
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Reduce PDF resolution to 150 dpi, specify
|
|
.Op outfile :
|
|
.Dl $ shrinkpdf myfile.pdf myfile-150dpi.pdf 150
