Description:

pdfcompressor 0.2.1

Command line PDF compression powered by the free iLovePDF API.
Why? iLovePDF delivers the best PDF compression I've seen but their web UI doesn't support automation and can be cumbersome when dealing with many files.
Installation
pip install pdf-compressor

Usage
First, tell pdf-compressor your iLovePDF API key (if you haven't yet, get one by signing up at https://developer.ilovepdf.com/signup):
pdf-compressor --set-api-key project_public_7c854a9db0...

Then start compressing!
pdf-compressor **/*.pdf
