This utility is described as follows: # Name: compress-newsletter # Author: wd (Wolfgang.Dobler at ucalgary.ca) # Date: 03-Oct-2005 # Description: # Use ghostscript's pdfwrite device (? la ps2pdf) to reduce the # Newsletter's PDF file size, and add meta information like author, # date, etc. # The preferred route is currently: # [scribus>=1.2.3] # | # file.pdf # | # [pdftops>=3.00] # | # file.ps # | # [pstopdf14 (gs-gnu-8.16 or higher)] # | # V # final.pdf ----------------------------------------------------- It seems to work and to result in extraordinary reductions in pdf size. I am happy to use it as it is. But could this routine or something like it be woven into Scribus itself?
