How to reduce PDF file size in Linux
I have a scanned report of 181 pages, resulting in a 20MB file. Still OK, unless you need to share the document with a very slow internet connection.
In comes Gostscript, a command line tool that can read and manipulate pdfs. On eHow, you can find a short tutorial how to do this.
