Compress PDF is a simple and efficient tool designed to reduce the size of PDF files without compromising quality. This version features a sleek and modern UI built using Qt6, making the compression process more user-friendly.
This project is built with Python and PyQt6, utilizing Ghostscript for PDF compression. Since I am still learning how to package Python scripts into executable binaries, I welcome any contributions, feedback, or guidance from the community to improve this tool.
