Sorry, but when I try to open the link I get error 502 :-(
Thanks to everyone! I tried with LibreOffice draw and GhostScript, and the
latter worked very nice. Tomorrow I'll try with 'Nautilus Script'
To compress dozens of PDF files as long as the source document is
available (ODT) I compress images within it by hand one by one with
LibreOffice. To do so, I do right-click a picture > Compress > a new
dialog appears > I set out compression > I click Calculate so I know
resulting size > click OK
I tried this "Nautilus script".

My script was just good for my own. But you have brought it to next level. I
will adapt my script and use yours as it is more complete and userfriendlier
then what I have written then.
Thank you for your input and contribution. :)
I while ago, I have created a snippet for myself.
Here you can read about it

It was on parabola. But should also work on Trisquel.
I just tried your method vs ps2pdf, and your method worked better, reduced
the file size significantly further.
Use ps2pdf. It is part of the ghostscript package.
I once tried LibreOffice Draw to "decompose" PDF files.
Normally, PDF files are considered "non-compressible". To reduce PDF file
size, I tried to reduce picture size (cropping, down-sampling, etc.).
Hi Majin,
A while back I searched for something related and in one of the forums the
use of ghostscript was recommended. I've used it and so far I am satisfied. I
am not savvy, so others forum members might help, but that's how I've been
using it:
In terminal:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
