I am not. Let me try that.

You hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu and you'll see Library. I can get to ~/Library/Containers in Finder. But the com.witte-software.PDF-Squeezer is not there. I made a shortcut to it on the desktop and if I double click on the shortcut; it does nothing. Strange. I'll...

I have to assume you installed PDF Squeezer from the Mac App Store. I installed mine from Homebrew and that directory is not there. EDIT: Very odd. i can onlu see com.witt-software.PDF-Squeezer from the command prompt. I can't see it from Finder.

Oh nice. Thank you! Explains why the save is so fast. It just needs to do a quick file move.

You'd think that was true. But for some of the PDFs I tried to shrink, I had to lower the image quality to 50%-60% before PDF Squeezer would let me save the file when doing an RGB conversion.

So, if Cairo converts to PNG, it automatically converting to RGB colorspace, since PNG can't do CMYK. That would explain why it "fixes" the issue. But it sounds like PDF Squeezer at 300 DPI with RGB conversion is acceptable. I wish PDF Sqeezer let you save a file, even if it's going to be...

I'm curious what Cairo is doing. I wonder if it's converting all images to another format and that's how it "fixes" the PDF. I wonder if cairo converts all the JPEG2000 images to PNG, and that's why we see the increase in file size. If it did that, I was thinking it might preserve the CMYK color...

I asked the author if he could allow to not compress and just do color conversion as an option in one profile. So you think it's the RBG conversion that's causing the issue or the compression of the images?

Also release notes of what's changed. I know this time around, it's only Apple updates. But if something newer drops, it would be nice to get another file that lists the "version number" of the PDF and what's changed in it.

Will Humble Bundle and Bundle of Holding files also get these updates?

So, I know we're getting fixed files, but if the one you're waiting for still isn't updated, I found yet another workaround, if you have a Mac. The App PDF Squeezer will allow you to create a custom compression profile and set an option to convert all images to RGB. The file created works fine...

You need someone not familiar with the work to get a good proofreading done. Until it goes out to the masses. there will always be some mistakes. Until thousands of fresh eyes look at it, you won't be able to catch it all.

That would be incorrect. Apple PDF reader is standards compliant. I just tried to convert CSC 2023 to greyscale using Ghostscript and when all was said and done, Ghostscript said this: The following warnings were encountered at least once while processing this file: A problem was...

So, can anyone confirm the fix worked?

I thought I would share an update procedure for doing this, if you own a Kindle Scribe and wants to view your Mongoose PDFs on it. I shamelessly stole this process from a reddit post. It's a 2-step process: 1. Convert the PDF to greyscale using a free tool called Ghostscript using the following...

Which files did you update?

Thank you!!!! What did you do? I work in IT. I'm curious about the technical details.

DriveThruRPG says the file is two pages long, and the preview shows 2 pages, one for the front of the panel and one for the back. How do we print this out? Is there a PDF that has 4 separate pages?

I am curious why no other RPG publisher has this issue. Are they testing on Apple hardware before release, or do their PDF renders work without special tweaking for Apple devices? I open an issue for this with Apple every time they release a new version of an operating system. As much as I...

Well, sometimes you need to use a non-standard app. Using the apps your device comes with, and not installing additional software is referred to as "the tyranny of the default." And it's a bad thing. It prevents people from finding new apps that do things better than the app they come with. It's...
