I couldn't get the Preview one to show up in the quartz filter menu until I deleted the word "copy" after the qfilter extension: should be named "Reduce File Size Copy.qfilter" and NOT "Reduce File Size Copy.qfilter copy" <br />Thank you!

Looks like once the filter is embedded in Preview (using the approach described in this blog) and used from there, the resulting, smaller PDF also contains the links. <br /><br />My initial comment was based on testing the same operation directly in ColorSync; in there, the links were left out from the resulting file.<br /><br />Sorry for the confusion & thanks for the good tip :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-23369929278876509392012-10-29T03:20:20.890-07:002012-10-29T03:20:20.890-07:00Tx -- especially the latter part about making the ...Tx -- especially the latter part about making the new filter appear in Preview is much appreciated :)<br /><br />However, there's a small glitch: while making the PDF smaller, the process also removes (or loses?) all hyperlinks that may have been there in the original (bigger) PDF. Any advice to work around this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-67053537707645673812012-10-14T19:21:23.056-07:002012-10-14T19:21:23.056-07:00Absolutely brilliant.
