pdfopt is ghostscript, that is the pdf is fed into a PostScript RIP, which spits out linearized pdf. qpdf uses a pdf library and reorganizes the pdf so it is linearized. So it "knows" more about pdf than gs, is much lighter (one binary and one lib with together <1MB compared to ghostscript), much less can go wrong (e.g. images are not changed) and IMHO the support for qpdf is much better. :-) Best Martin ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : [email protected] / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
