PDF File Shrinker
Have a client with a lot of PDF files that were scanned at to high of a resolution, so they are huge. Has anybody seen a utility you could feed a file list and it would process those files to a lower resolution, perhaps even from color to black and white?
I'm thinking ideally with a preview of the compressed file before it overwrites the source file?
Or something similar tool?
There are some thousands of these PDF files in various directories.
Being able to give it a directory to process, and include sub-directories would be helpful.
Free is good but a nice solution for a couple hundred $$ might work.

Fine by me. I was simply responding to a "Help resolve this question" email that said, "The following question you participated in has been inactive for 14 days" and "You can still help resolve it by choosing the comment(s) with the most merit and following the prompts to close the question". It's a new process that EE put in place to deal with the enormous number of abandoned questions. It's much better, of course, if askers close questions themselves. Regards, Joe

Is there an option to replace the input.pdf with the output.pd?
How would you handle the case of already "light" PDF files intermixed with the "heavy" PDF files. Don't want to lose any further detail on the "light" PDF Files.
By "light" I mean files that are already gray scale and 200 or 300 dpi. By heavy I mean 600 dpi color.
Thanks.
