I have the debian non free mulltimedia link set up in my apt sources file.
I did
apt-get update && apt-get install acroread mozilla-acroread (another
google search recommendation)
and successfully installed Acrobat 9 but when I tried it although it
read the pdf file in fine the google search tip of using the file
reduction option in the document menu option didn't seem to appear.
All I got were a sign and security pair of sub menu options under the
document section of the task bar or whatever its called that didn't
give me any other options when I mouse clicked on them.
So I gave up with Acrobat and used the ghostscript command gs
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen
-dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf which
worked really well and made a smaller pdf file for me.
