How to compress PDF using ghostscript

As a developer, it bothers me when someone sends me a large pdf file compared to the number of pages. Recently, I recieved a 12MB scanned document for just one letter-sized page... so I got to googlin, like I usually do, and found ghostscript!

to learn more abot ghostscript (gs): https://www.ghostscript.com/

What we are interested in, is the gs command line tool, which provides many options for manipulating PDF, but we are interested in compressign those large PDF's into small yet legible documents.

Anonymising PDFs

PDF metadata

Metadata in PDF files can be stored in at least two places:

• the Info Dictionary, a limited set of key/value pairs
• XMP packets, which contain RDF statements expressed as XML

Google Apps Script pdfToText Utility#

This is a helper function that will convert a given PDF file blob into text, as well as offering options to save the original PDF, intermediate Google Doc, and/or final plain text files. Additionally, the language used for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) may be specified, defaulting to 'en' (English).

Note: Updated 12 May 2015 due to deprecation of DocsList. Thanks to Bruce McPherson for the getDriveFolderFromPath() utility.

    // Start with a Blob object
    var blob = gmailAttchment.getAs(MimeType.PDF);

# Watermarking image with another image using Imagemagick 'composite', 'watermark' and 'dissolve'.
require "RMagick"

# Read the image in the memory with RMagick
img = Magick::Image.read("/home/aditya/Pictures/old_england_pic.jpg").first

# the original image was in jpg format
# need to make the white background color transparent
# also changed the format to png since JPG does not support transparency.
# run the command below to create an image with transparent background using ImageMagick
