Certainly. Here's the revised, more concise description of the script:

This Bash script automates the compression of PDF files in the current directory. It's designed to reduce the file size of PDFs that exceed a specified size, helping to save storage space while maintaining file quality.

The script uses a size threshold to determine which files to compress. Any PDF larger than this threshold will be processed using Ghostscript, a powerful tool for PDF manipulation. The threshold concept allows users to focus on compressing only the larger files that are more likely to benefit from size reduction.

Usage:

1. Save the script as compress_pdfs.sh and make it executable:

   chmod +x compress_pdfs.sh

2. Run the script:

   • With default settings (200KB threshold):

     ./compress_pdfs.sh

   • Or specify a custom threshold (e.g., 500KB):

     ./compress_pdfs.sh -t 500

The script provides progress output during operation and preserves original files if compression doesn't reduce size.

Note: Ghostscript must be installed on the system for the script to function.

Both the script and README, as one may guess), were generated by AI. Namely, by claude.
