Thanks for your reply. I gave it a try on a file with a size of 78MB. The output was only 2.2MB in size but it was not readable anymore. I tried also other PDFSETTINGS options:

original: 78MB
/screen: 2.2MB, not readable
/ebook: 6.9MB, barely readable
/printer: 78MB, like original

I would be looking for something in between /ebook and /printer. A reduction in size of about 50% would be more than enough but I'm not familiar with ghostscript at all. Maybe you have some tips for me where to look at?

Then in the end I will need to adapt the script to loop over all pdfs in a folder but I think I can manage that.
