I am writing here about the dis-appearance of "Compress PDF" option from the print-preview.
This feature was available in Tiger and dropped in Leopard. Actually there is a compress PDF feature (either via an applescript that can be downloaded) or using Quartz filter "reduce filesize".
However, when dealing with bitmap figures embedded in the PDF, both solutions in Leopard yield very dissappointing results. Whilst in Tiger, the results were outstanding for both file size reduction and maintaining the bitmap clarity.
Does anyone know how to get back the "original" Tiger quality compress PDF function for Leopard?
