    Comments about FileOptimizer as an Alternative to Free PDF Compressor

    It's great as a multi-tool (all sorts of files can be compressed, not just PDFs) that uses transparent open-source tools and relies on unobtrusive advertising and donations. That said, it can't handle some files, especially indexed PDFs. But it's great for batch compressing scanned PDFs and a million other file formats easily and quickly. Very nice.
