This project is a demo of another usage of the gs.wasm that @ochachacha compiled. It takes any PDF and compress it via ghostscript.
The applied command is:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf
The compression is now processed in a webworker so that the main thread doesn't become unresponsive and now there is virtually no limit to the size of the PDF that you can compress 🎉
To run the project, simply do the following steps
git clone [email protected]:laurentmmeyer/ghostscript-pdf-compress.wasm.git
cd ghostscript-pdf-compress.wasm
yarn
yarn devhttps://laurentmmeyer.github.io/ghostscript-pdf-compress.wasm/
I wrote a post about the process.
