compresspdf.sh is a script made by members of [Open Source Publishing](http://osp.kitchen) that squashes large PDFs into very small ones using ```gs``` (ghostscript), an open-source software suite for interpreting PostScript and PDF.
First download and install ghostscript from here: https://www.ghostscript.com/
To run the script, do:
```./compresspdf.sh <file.pdf> <resolution in DPI>```
For example:
```./compresspdf.sh input.pdf 300```
The output will be something like:
```input-resampled.pdf```
