"A waste of time!"
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Pros
Small download time and the program just runs from an exe. No need to install.
Cons
The program simply took my PDF of 1.5MB and comp[ressed it down to 335 bytes. I thought "great"...but actually, when I opened it, it had an error and said there were no pages. Great compression eh?? Just remove all the pages!!
Summary
Waste of time - don't bother downloading it.

"Does not work with PDF v1.6 files"

Cons

"Didn't work. (1.27Mb down to 1.25Mb)"
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Pros
Sorry, none.
Cons
I had a 1.27Mb PDF of a CAD drawing of a building and this product only compressed it to 1.25Mb. So, it's not worth the time and effort in my opinion.
Sorry NicePDF, I did try it and I so wanted it to work but I have to be honest in my review.Summary

"It simply doesn't work - Useless"
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Cons
It look simple to work but after the compression the file size was still the same. I tried all the combination and the flat rate option was the only one that did something from 12.7 down to 12.1 MB; pretty useless.

"Easy to use and quick"
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Pros
I like that it is simple and straight to the point. You don´t have to be a rocket scientist to use this software.
Cons
The only thing i did not like about this software is that when you have more than one page in the same PDF file it doesn´t compress that much, even if you put it on maximum compression. For individual files it works fine though.

"Destroyed my PDF"
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Although there were a number of negative reviews I decided to give it a shot. The worst that I expected was that it wouldn't do much as far as compression. What I didn't expect was that it completely destroyed my file. Thanks!

"It does work but WinZip delivered a better result!"
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Pros
Its very easy to use and very fast. I achieved a 30% reduction in file size.
Cons
The results should have been beter than WinZip. In my case, the software compressed 6054KB file to 4322KB. The same file zipped had a footprint of 4309KB. This was a bit disappointing. Interestingly with Compression set to Maximum the RunLength and Flate algorithms produced the same result.

"It didn't work."
Version: Free PDF Compressor 1.12
Pros
small download.
Cons
It increased my files size instead of compressing. A 2 pages pdf with gray scale images in letter size was increased from 290kb to 293kb, and a plain text based document with 19 pages was increased from 93kb to 393kb, yes 393kb. didn'd work for me.

"Didnt work"

It reduced my files alright, which it accomplished by deleting all the pages.
