# PDF Batch Compressor ## Functionality This nifty utility compresses PDF files via Ghostscript in the folder where this script resides: :one: Create a sub-folder, ./compressed, and put the resultant compressed ones in it, :two: Compress files with any PDF extentions i.e., .pdf, .PDF, .pDf and so on, :three: Optional compression parameter to be supplied, namely, prepress, ebook (default) and screen - in the descending order of quality, and :four: Log output with the compressed file names and any error message in the sub-folder N.B. Make sure to make this script excutable via chmod +x or 755, after downloading! ## Installation ```bash (base) to@mx:~$ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) (base) to@mx:~$ gs --help GPL Ghostscript 9.26 (2018-11-20) ```
