PdfCompress 5.0
Metaobject announced the immediate availability of PdfCompress 5.0, its compression tool for Mac OS X. Version 5.0 features minor bug fixes, as well as a new compression method based on JPEG 2000 that squeezes an additional 20 percent out of photographic images, according to the company. PdfCompress optimizes Quartz PDF files by applying specialized image compression methods to the images stored in the file, as well as removing unnedded elements, reducing file size without visible degredation. PdfCompress is a fully native Cocoa application for Mac OS X Tiger. Version 5.0 is a free upgrade for existing users or can be purchased new for $27.
