Assume an IAM role. An interesting way of doing IAM roles is to give the instance permissions to assume another role, but no actual permissions by default. I got this idea while setting up security monkey: http://securitymonkey.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart1.html#setup-iam-roles.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Assume the given role, and print out a set of environment variables
# for use with aws cli.
#
# To use:
#
# $ eval $(./iam-assume-role.sh)

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.
