Small tool using Ghostscript to simplify PDFs created by Scribus, make them smaller in size and better suited for publishing on the web.
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=newfile.pdf myfile.pdf
If the file is for screen viewing use
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=newfile.pdf myfile.pdf
I do this regularly with files to be sent to print and there has never been any problem
It is probably better to add -c .setpdfwrite in the command line, for example gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=newfile.pdf -c .setpdfwrite -f myfile.pdf See http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Language.htm#.setpdfwrite and http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Ps2pdf.htm#Limitations
