[Inkscape-user] JPEG-compress embedded images in PDF

9 Apr 2007


      Greetings.
The PDF files generated by Inkscape are unacceptably large when the
document contains bitmap graphics.  (An A5 book cover I just did is over
33 megabytes -- far too large to publish online.)  I presume this is
because Inkscape is embedding raw bitmaps into the PDF file, rather than
using JPEG compression.
Is there a tool which will postprocess a PDF file to convert the embedded
bitmaps to embedded JPEGs?  I would prefer something free (GPL or the
like) and available for GNU/Linux.
Regards,
Tristan
