pdfshrink

Shrink PDF files using Ghostscript.

This is a (WIP) reimplementation of PDF-Slim in Rust.

pdfshrink takes a number of PDF files and tries to optimize them through a suitable call to ghostscript. It is specifically fitted to reduce the size of scanned papers, containing images with humongous resolution.

Installation

To install pdfshrink for the first time or upgrade it to the latest version, run the following command at your shell:

bash cargo +nightly install --features build-binary pdfshrink
