PDF Squeezer is exactly what its name suggests: a utility for compressing your PDF documents. The application comes with a user-friendly interface, allows you to preview and print the imported files, and supports batch processing and drag-and-drop actions.
All you need to do is to drag-and-drop the PDFs you wish to compress over the app's interface and click the "Save" or "Save As" button. The program lets you know the size of the output file before exporting your results.
An advantage is that you can start compressing a PDF directly from a Finder window as PDF Squeezer is integrated within the contextual menu.
The only thing that bothers me, and it's very important, is the fact that you cannot export the compressed PDF files. To be more exact, the application only lets you import and preview your PDFs and lets you know the size of the compressed files. So, you can't be 100% sure the program will actually generate the compressed data as it's being advertised. The only way to find out if the app is as reliable as it says on the homepage of the developer is to acquire it.
Personally, I wouldn't spend a few bucks on a compressing tool that doesn't let me check its efficiency first. Still, based on the reviews that were left on the buy URL, the program actually works great after purchasing. So, it's up to you to decide if it's worth giving this app a try or not.
