Hi a few days back i was grappling with two problems (both separately)
one - to easily compress pdf's (make them smaller) and two - try to decrypt some permissions on some pdf's (this particular set of files did not allow merging, splitting etc - they had some restrictions on them and every time i tried pdftk, pdf shuffler, pdfsam etc i was confronted with a need for a password) the latter problem i could not figure easily. The only solution was to print the pdf's as pdf's and then do the merging - it resulted in huge files. The first problem came later and i found this script which allowed one to very easily compress pdf's. On a whim i tried it on these restricted files and voila it worked - not only did the file sizes come down the permissions got blown away and am able to do what i want with the restricted files any way the result of blowing away of permissions is a *very good side effect* for al already good script so here's the link to the script - it uses ghostscript (gs) 1.
