How do you shrink a PDF file?

What are the best ways to compress or shrink a large pdf file?

  • Answer:

    There is an outstanding utility called NXPOWER http://www.neuxpower.com/ This compresses almost any type of file (PDF, XLS, PPT etc) astonishingly effectively. It has various options (depending on how much you need to compress) but it does a remarkable job even of lossless compression by removing redundancy and stuff that is included in the file for no good reason. There is a free trial and I would highly recommend it.
