Comments and Reviews
Can remove metadata from PDF files, compress them, is open source and has next to no tracking (only usage report iirc)
Can't find the option to compress PDFs, I don't believe it has one.
It has now
Note that this does have a standard Windows Desktop installation too.. available at GitHub.
Extremely complete and easy to use, works offline
