PDF compressor
What type of request is this?
New tool idea
Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing
Sometimes when uploading a PDF document to Company or Email-Service, the size of accepted files is limited (i.e. 5MB or 20MB). Compressing the PDF file is needed before.
Is their example of this tool in the wild?
Under Linux, I use Ghostview to compress such files:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=document_compressed.pdf document.pdf
Not tested: It shall be possible with Qpdf too:
qpdf --compress-streams=y --object-streams=generate document.pdf document_compressed.pdf
Additional context

Hi @BitShifterTom , @LMieldazis, implemented: https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/pdf-compressor
And if you are interested in an up to date version of it-tools, with many improvements, new tools, and bug fixes, as this repo is almost no more maintained, I made a fork here : https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools (https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ and docker images https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools/pkgs/container/it-tools)
