Re: Lower-res PDFs

There is native Linux Adobe Reader, just check
http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/Or if you use Ubuntu, just
enable partner repositry and install via synaptic package manager.

Antoher free pdf manipulation tool is pdftk, which has a command line
interface, but i dont know if it is capable of changing the image
resolutions inside a pdf file.

There is also pdf shuffler, pdfchain and pdfsam. Not sure they can
change the resolution, though. (If in trouble finding the packages,

Many thanks Uwe for all your useful tips. Wouldn't it be better for
Lyx itself to allow for low-res PDF output, printable PDF output and
what not?

Do Acrobat and Foxit PDF Editor work with GNU/Linux? FN

 Not With LyX but with PDF tools. You can force to compress the images inside
 existing PDFs, for example with Acrobat or Foxit PDF Editor.

To the best of my knowledge, Foxit PDF Editor runs only on Windows 
platforms. Adobe Acrobat Professional runs on Windows and Mac.


This is the only tool I've heard about for Linux. But I've not tested it 
though!

No because LyX is not a PDF editor. LyX creates different output 
formats, after that its your decision what you do with them.


The mentioned PDF compression level supported by pdflatex won't help you 
much because it only compresses the PDF and does not recalculate the 
included images. If you for example increase the compression level in 
Acrobat, your 10 MB PDF will afterwards have a size of about 9.5-9 MB. 
But when you recalculate all images in the PDF, the file size can be 
decreased down to 3 MB.

If you have contex installed you can use the scripts there to downsample
the finished pdf.

/usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/pstopdf.rb --method=5 finished.pdf 

If you need smaller pdfs use --method=4
