"It works for me"
Version: PDF Compress 1
Pros
I like that it´s basically self explanitory and not that hard to figure out.
Cons
When you have a bunch of scanned documents in on PDF file it doesn´t really compress a lot even if you put maximum. But it´s ok i guess

"Great at anti-compression"
Version: PDF Compress 1
Pros
It's free.
Cons
This program does the opposite of its advertised purpose.
I was running a comparison with another free pdf compressor on download.com to see which of the two were better at compressing pdfs created which contained: only OCR text (113 pages - 698 KB), OCR text and pictures (36 pages - 3,380 KB), and just scanned pictures (66 pages - 64,064 KB). In every instance, this program increased the file size when compared to the original. The OCR text became 710 KB; the OCR text and pictures became 3,384 KB; and just scanned pictures became 64,073 KB.
Granted, the increases are not that much, but it's still an increase and opposite of what should have happened. The program really deserves 0 out of 5 stars.

"Worst Compression Program Ever"
Version: PDF Compress 1
Pros
Its a quick download
Cons
I had a 23 meg PDF file I wanted to compress. Followed the easy to use options within the program and pressed "Compress" a blank PDF file of 840 bytes was created. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still same problem. Worst program ever. Don't download this program

"It makes your PDF files larger!!"
Version: PDF Compress 1
Cons
Actually, I tested to compress several PDF files, large and small, and I found that this software is good in making your PDF files larger and not smaller!! Bjorn Lundahl, Gothenburg, Sweden
