PDFCompress

This is a GUI Frontend for the terminal utility called ghostscript.

How to run this program:

git clone https://github.com/Haardipro/PDFCompress

sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0

After that cd into the PDFCompress direcory, then run main.py

cd PDFCompress/
python3 main.py #this is the first iteration of the app, lots of bugs
python3 new.py #new iteration of the app, works fine

Stuff left to add:

• Name of selected pdf on the insert pdf button or on a different label

• Opening the directory of the compressed file after compression

• Converting the application to GTK4

Bugs

• Sometimes ghostscript makes the file bigger instead of making it smaller(cannot be solved)

• error.py doesn't open in case of an error

• Pressing compress on the same instance of the application results in a lot of issues
