The downloaded PDF from shaw are very large (1.5 to 4 MB) I guess as the same files would be use for print out invoices.

Anyhow here a linux script I used to reduce the size (compress images in invoice) and rename the output file might be useful for someone else.

requires to install gs (ghostscript) on your linux system. I use this on WSL (Windows Linux Subsystem)
