Hopefully someone out there has had this problem...
I've written a script that takes a large pdf (multi-page + graphics) and
splits it into as many files as there are pages. My problem is that all the
pages retain the same original file size (large as the file contains pages
with graphics) despite some of them only being text.
- The Reduce File SizeĀ command in Acrobat achieves this but I don't think
it's scriptable - even though the menu item command?
- PDF Shrink is a utility but it doesn't support Applescript - even though
you can open a file in it, you can't process it
- any ideas?
I'm using Acrobat 6 and Tiger
You already got solutions, yet in case you are interested this would
be less a short script in Smile. Ask me if you want to study that
solution, because not everything is documented yet. Smile is not any
better than pdftk, but it will display your PDF.
I meant, it would be a short script in Smile (less than 20 lines was
in my mind.)
