Handling Pdfs

Hi,

I have been using a Kindle Dx to read pdfs. (As well as an Iriver Story Hd, but that has a small screen.) I have coordination problems, so I can't use touch devices, and can't switch to a newer faster device.

Many of the ones from the Internet Archive, DriveThroughRpg, and so on are big pdfs. It can be hard to get to the right place in these pdfs, so can anyone suggest Mac tools to help compress these pdfs, or split them into smaller sections without expanding them?

Librerator can handle djvus, but the basic Kindle system can't.

On the Mac, I have a couple tools to split pdfs, but they expand them, and to compress pdfs, but they are slow and unpredictable. Even something which could check which pdfs are compressible would help.

P.S. cross-posting to Apple's support site for the other side of thinhs.
