New PDF Compressor That Cuts Scanned PDF Files Down to Size

There are lots of scanned PDF files need to be copied, transferred or exchanged often on the Internet. However, scanned PDF documents are made from images and the file sizes are very large. It is not easy to send emails with large PDF attachments.

PDF Compressor aims to solve a common problem of today's electronic documentation. The majority of currently existing PDF files contains nothing but scanned copies of corresponding paper documents. Since the content of such files is mostly images, scanned PDF documents can sometimes be quite large, to a point when sending them in emails or via Skype becomes almost impossible. PDF Compressor allows its users to quickly compress such oversized PDF documents, enabling easier handling and significantly reducing disk space they take up.

Also, the program supports batch mode and lets users compress hundreds of PDF documents at one time.

The interface of the program is focused solely on the main function: making the compression process as streamlined as possible. It requires neither Adobe Acrobat nor Acrobat Reader to function. File size reduction is achieved by applying image compression algorithms to scanned PDF documents.

I'm not sure what that software actually does with PDF files but it's certainly not a compression. Probably it just replaces every page with its image equivalent. After a very long process it multiplied my file size by 25, all text became blurry and not selectable, plus their watermark on every page.
I used this online tool instead: http://pdfcompressor.com
