Notice that the PDF to be reduced is opened with Colorsync and NOT Preview like I did. Using Colorsync this works very well, thank you...

@topcoat2001 Once you create the filters in ColorSync, you can access them in Preview.

i did on black and white pdf...it actually increased the file size... 4.2 to 4.5

@br0bat You need to set the filter at a lower quality than what your pdf already is.

@bblove302 It should work for any pdf & most images.
