Hello there,

I have a large number (> 200) of comic books in pdf format but they are quite large (~30 to 70 MB) so they take up too much space on my kindle. My idea now was to compress the images inside the pdf a bit so they get smaller in size without losing too much on the quality.
I've searched this forum and read through some threads but didn't find what I was looking for specifically: A (ideally free) tool that takes all the pdf files, applies some level of compression to the images and provides me with the smaller pdf files.
I was looking into some online converters like ilovepdf.com or pdfcompressor.com but they do not provide many options regarding the level of compression and they also don't take many files at once. Same for pdf printers, I want to avoid having to open every single pdf file and print a compressed version manually. Does anyone know a tool that does the same thing to a number of pdf files at once and provides at least some small level of compression options?

Thanks already in advance!
