Generally, when someone wants to reduce the size of a PDF file, it's because there are bitmaps at a fairly high resolution and there really isn't much of a way to do that. If what you want is really the 'text' you could use pdftk to get the text stream (pdftk isn't packaged in F8 but you could probably install the one from F7 or rebuild the source rpm from F7) You might find pdfedit package can do what you want but it doesn't have Acrobat Professional abilities (yet...but I'm hoping) Craig -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
