I overlooked this discussion started by.

Now that I know files which was compressible by gzip had good cmpression
already inside PDF, I am leaning toward publishing PDF without gzipping
even now. Thanks.
Just to rehash facts,
228023 fhs-2.3.pdf.gz
510762 fhs-2.3.pdf
2883196 fhs-2.3.uncompr.pdf
529987 fhs-2.3.recompr.pdf
798976 reference.en.pdf.gz
1239893 reference.en.pdf
2759682 reference.uncompress.en.pdf
1261303 reference.recompress.en.pdf
pdftk can not be used to further compress existing pdf files in the
archive internally. They are well compressed.
