If anyone’s interested, here’s a smart rule script for automating PDF Squeezer compression:
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
set theProfilePath to "[ path to .pdfscp file ]"
tell application id "DNtp"
repeat with eachRecord in theRecords
set thePath to path of eachRecord
set theResult to do shell script "/usr/local/bin/pdfs " & quoted form of thePath & " --replace --profile " & quoted form of theProfilePath
if theResult is "" then add custom meta data 1 for "mdfilecompressed" to eachRecord
end repeat
end tell
end performSmartRule
Setup-wise, after installing the command line tool within the app, you just need to export your chosen PDF Squeezer settings as a .pdfscp file and add that path to the second line of the script. mdfilecompressed should be set up as boolean in your custom metadata.
The smart rule itself then looks something like this:
Of course, use at your own risk and test before doing any batch processing!
