My need to shrink pdf sizes has arised once more, I scanned about 52 pages of documents and while i know I could use smaller dpi on my printer's setting, at the time I was unable to do so; that and the fact that It just didn't cross my mind, specially when wanting to make good clear/readable scans. The pages amounted to about 43mb and I was searching for something to help me get it down to less than 25mb in Okular but i did not find such a setting, not on the 'export as' nor on 'save as' I searched online and found a neat command that helped me tremendously and I thought that the requirements for it looked somewhat simple (requiring just ghostscript) The command was: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf * It would be nice to have Okular be able to reduce a pdf's file size, maybe based on profiles like gs' compatibility has ei: screen , ebook , default, printer etc etc. * Not only that, but how about also being able to delete and or re-order pages?
Okular is not a PDF editor. There are a multitude of programs out there that can do what you want, use those.
