Anyway to reduce size of pdf using python script.

A

accessnewbie

I have a batch file that exports ArcGIS pdf maps to a directory. I would like to include a step in the script where the pdf file is reduced in size instead of manually opening each file in Acrobat X Pro after the script has run and doing it there.

Can this be done using python scripting or does the automation stop at exporting the map?

Thanks

I don't know anything about ArcGIS, but
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6413441/python-pdf-library gives
pointers to several libraries which look like they might do what you
want.
