PDF Compress, Reduce, Optimize 4+

When I saw the low cost, I assumed it would be a simple interface to a quartz filter to reduce filesize, that is already inside Mac OSX. I took a chance and must say the options provide you with a multiple attempt system to get the quality you need at the correct filesize you desire, all before saving the final file. Fantastic program, ran great 1st time, got my work done quickly, no crashes or bugs. Very happy with the affordable price, and the simple easy to use interface. This is a HUGE winner! Thank you for taking something difficult, and making it useful and simple - plus a pleasure to utilize!

I wasn’t satisfied with the Reduce Size filter on Preview so I was looking for an app that could solve this problem. The issues was the the Preview filter would reduce it to a terrible resolution to where the pdf was not even readable. So I tried this app and have to say it was very simple to use, plus you can customize the settings. The big plus for me is the preview… where you preview the PDF before you actually compress it, which I thought was very neat. Also you see what size it is to what the resulting size will be once compressed.

Overall a very valuable app!

After much frustration with reduce file size in Preview (way too much sacrifice in quality) and Acrobat Pro (way too little reduction in file size) I stumbled upon this gem. Unlike the others this program gives you all sorts of compression reduction options so you can choose what level of quality vs file size reduction works best for you. If you work with PDFs you need this program.
