Hey there, 

I have been sitting down in front of my PC and this is the result [RECOMPDF]:

> #!/bin/bash
> fname=$1			#take input-arguments
> jqual=$2			#first is the filename, second is the JPG-quality-value
> outname="${fname/.pdf}"-low	#strip filename-suffix and add "-low" instead
> mkdir /tmp/recompdf/		#work in /TMP/ directory
> convert -density 300 $fname /tmp/recompdf/split.jpg
> convert /tmp/recompdf/split*.jpg -quality $jqual "$outname".pdf
> rm -R /tmp/recompdf/		#clean up finally
> 

So actually it is none of the PDF-tools, that can help, but imagemagick, which is in turn
using ghostscript. Nice ain't it?
