Shrinking PDF files can be done with these commands: $ pdf2ps huge.pdf huge.ps $ psresize -W... -H... -w... -h... huge.ps sane.ps $ ps2pdf sane.ps sane.pdf psresize is part of the "psutils" port, and pdf2ps and ps2pdf come from ghostscript. Please see the psresize(1) manual page for details about the options. Of course, all text is shrunk along with the document, so it might become too small (i.e. unreadable).
