Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

  • /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
  • /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
  • /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
  • /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.

Eliminate white space around wrapfigure environments in LaTeX.
%% The typical answer for how to eliminate white space in wrapfigure doesn't work for me (I'm using a SIGGRAPH style sheet):
%% http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/111393/too-much-space-around-wrap-figure
%% Instead, let's just offset the image.
%% The horizontal white space is \columnsep and the vertical white space is \intextsep.
%% Subtract them from the column width and offset the image accordingly.
%% How to move an image:
%% http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/107340/how-to-shift-graphics-adjust-placement-of-figure-with-includegraphics
\begin{wrapfigure}[11]{R}{1in - .75\columnsep}
%\centering
\vspace{-\intextsep}
