A simple GUI tool that allows you to compress PDF files
It is built on top of the open source version of Ghostscript.
While you can easily install and use ghostcript in command line to compress PDFs, we at itsfoss.com understand the need and importance of GUI applications even for the simplest of the tasks.
This is why we are creating this small GUI tool that allows you to compress PDF files on Linux in a few clicks.
This is our first desktp application for Linux and we have a lot to learn here. So please feel free to help us with your expertise by contributing to the project.
Download the AppImage from the releases.
Make the file executable and double click to run it.
The interface is really simple. You select the PDF file, choose the compression level and hit compress.
Your original PDF files are not touched. The compressed files append -compressed to the original file name and they are stored in the same location as your original PDF files.
