#GPDFC - Gazelle PDF Compressor Ghostscript php wrapper purposely to reduce PDF files.

#Story GPDFC solely implements the full power of the ghost-script's shrinking (reduce filesize) capability.

I built this simple library, because I didn't get any suitable project to accomplish my PDF file reduction tasks i also got some inspiration from Alfred Klomp from www.alfredklomp.com. This library feeds a PDF through Ghostscript, which performs lossy recompression by such methods as downsampling the images to 150dpi. This configuration results in a better quality buy yet a much smaller file.

#Features

Shrink remote or local pdf files
Works on windows and unix based systems
More features to come

#Requirement

For GPDFC to work, the ghostscript command (v9.5.2) must be installed and working in the environment (development machine or server) you are using this library in. Check the links section for more help on downloads and installation of ghostscript.
PHP ^v7.4

#Installation You can use composer

composer require mal33k-eden/gazelle-pdf-compressor

     //instantiate GPDFC
     $GPDFC = new GPDFC('input.pdf','output.pdf');
     //Compress PDF
     $result = $GPDFC->compress());
