BUG
Hi Jakob,
Thanks for reporting this bug and also finding a patch. I did attempt
to use ps2pdf to compress a PDF and found that when used on Ubuntu's
shipped example content, i did indeed make the file size smaller.
However, when i ran it against a PDF generated from firefox print-to-
file (PDF), i found it actually made the resulting PDF larger. The
other bug that this introduces, ps2pdf's default behaviour is to save
the resulting filename, changing the file extension from *.ps to *.pdf.
However, without changes to ps2pdf it will save the resulting output to
*.pdf.pdf which is less than optimal IMO.
Using another tool, such as pdftk with the compress option did make the
resulting PDF smaller. This makes me wonder if using ps2pdf in the
situation you described is generally optimal for all users.
Suggestions welcome!
** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete

ps2pdf also takes pdf as input, not only ps
