# pdfshrink

Shrink PDF files using Ghostscript.

This is a (WIP) reimplementation of [PDF-Slim](https://github.com/FedericoStra/pdfslim/) in Rust.

`pdfshrink` takes a number of PDF files and tries to optimize them through a suitable call to `ghostscript`.
It is specifically fitted to reduce the size of scanned papers, containing images with humongous resolution.

## Installation

To install `pdfshrink` for the first time or upgrade it to the latest version, run the following command at your shell:

```bash
cargo +nightly install --features build-binary pdfshrink
```

## Help message

```
$ pdfshrink --help
