In my original posting, perhaps I should have been more specific. I was trying to find a "GUI" utility which would allow for these functions and also allow for a finer degree of control than I've been able to obtain with the command line utilities. Eventually (perhaps not in the first or second iteration), I would like to have something very similar to the PDF optimizer available with the full version of Acrobat.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Rob</div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 4, 2010, at 5:06 PM, Joachim Trinkwitz wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>Am 04.06.2010 um 21:14 schrieb Rob Oakes:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: ScalaSansPro; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">A couple of weeks ago, I was putting together an article about different utilities available for working with PDF documents on Linux (<a href="http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/26/pdf-linux">http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/26/pdf-linux</a>).
