P.S File Optimizer, which exists in portable form also (32-bit and x64
versions) not only optimizes pdfs but also images (jpgs, pngs..) and
other file formats. I only use it for pdf-shrinking.


Thanks for the recommendation. It's a keeper until I find something better.

1.) excellent compression ratio
2.) portability isn't intuitive (must install full exe-copy all Program
Files to a portable folder-uninstall)
3.) nag screens
4.) cannot change output folder (saves in same folder as original PDF)



(2) - agree, it's a relatively recent development, and a bit of a
pain-in-the-arse

Re (3) - I get no nag screen. Is thsi during installation or when you
are using the FileOptimizer?
