gs ghostscript doesn't shrink my pdf any longer
I've been using ghostscript to shrink my pdf and everything worked fine until today. I don't know why but the script executes but does not shrink my file size. Here's the command I've been using which is the generic one which you can find everywhere
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=fileoutput.pdf fileinput.pdf
I can provide my pdf samples if needed but what's strange is that the program executes normally and does the job, except it doesn't compress anything...
