Hi people,
I had a little problem with my daily work, I have to shrink some PDF files but there was no function available inside KDE out of the box.
So I found a working way by transferring them into PS and then transfer them back to PDF.
So I create 2 little scripts to make this possible for further shrinking actions …
1st version only shell version:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| #!/bin/bash | |
| read -e -p "Please insert file: " file | |
| if test -e $file | |
| then pdf2ps $file tmp.ps && ps2pdf tmp.ps $file-small.pdf && rm tmp.ps | |
| else echo "File not found!" | |
| fi |
2nd version with kdialog for all KDE users:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| #!/bin/bash | |
| file=`kdialog --getopenfilename /home '*.pdf'` | |
| pdf2ps $file tmp.ps && ps2pdf tmp.ps $file-small.pdf && rm tmp.ps |
Have fun with the scripts.
Any comment is welcome.
