# pdf-utils

A set of scripts for doing things with PDF

## compression

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```
