Installation instructions for Windows
Phase-Deploy Installation instructions for WindowsInstallation(For quick installation of pdfsizeopt to Linux and FreeBSD systems, please see InstallationInstructionLinux, and for slow installation on any system, please see InstallationInstructions instead.) Please note that pdfsizeopt has many dependencies, but all these dependencies are conveniently bundled to a large .zip file (pdfsizeopt_win32-v3.zip below) for easy installation on Windows.
Usagepdfsizeopt is a command-line only application, there is no GUI. You can run pdfsizeopt by opening a command-prompt window (e.g. by Start menu / Run / cmd.exe), and typing commands there. Since you have to type the input filename as a full pathname, it's recommended to create a directory with a short name (e.g. C:\pdfs), and copy the input PDF there. To optimize a PDF, run the following command in a command-prompt window: C:\pdfsizeopt\pdfsizeopt C:\pdfs\input.pdf (Press Tab to get filename completion while typing.) The optimized file will be saved as C:\pdfs\input.psom.pdf (or as C:\pdfs\input.pso.pdf is pdfsizeopt --use-multivalent=no is used). To avoid typing C:\pdfsizeopt\pdfsizeopt, add C:\pdfsizeopt to the (end of the) system path, and open a new command-prompt window. You can type just pdfsizeopt instead there. Please note that pdfsizeopt works perfectly in Wine (tested with wine-1.2 on Ubuntu Lucid), but it's a bit slower than running it natively (as a Linux or Unix program). |
Is there a way to wildcard, like .pdf?
@rwilck: No built-in way for wildcard conversions. Feel free to automate it using a script, and feel free to add support.
The link to the Windows installer zip (http://bin.pdfsizeopt.googlecode.com/git/pdfsizeopt_win32bin-v3.zip) gives me an error: "403. That’s an error. Your client does not have permission to get URL /git/pdfsizeopt_win32bin-v3.zip from this server. That’s all we know."
