Didn't work - Full of adware garbage
User908wr789February 24, 2014
Pros
It is free???
Cons
Download used numerous tricky "steps" to try and get you to trick you into installing add on junk, change your homepage, and other crap - Even when avoiding these, Norton found adware being installed with this - Then it didn't even work.
Summary
claims to have support but zero support

Pros
Bought the softer, it worked, but at what price when adding unknown software.
Cons
Didn't realize it adds crap software. Lost last computer so trying to get ahold of them to get a new version of software. I made repeated emails but no answer.
Summary
These guys are phonies. Wondering why others sell it....birds of a feather perhaps....
DO NOT DOWNLOAD AT ALL
Obrien789July 23, 2013
Pros
No Pros, It does not work with current versions of PDF. CNET should remove this file as it is added in Aug 2005
Cons
Installs multiple malware programs. - webcake 3.00 - search.us.com - myPCbackup still problem removing that damm search.us.com from browser
Summary
DO NOT download at all, total is malware!!!

None. Do Not Use.
Cons
Installs multiple malware programs.

I lost all trust in CNET downloads and reviews. Beware!

Pros
it works thats all I can really say
Cons
Added a load of plugins to chrome. Changed my search engine to some porn/dodgy page
Summary
Download a different program. God knows what else this program has tried to sneak past norton!
Shrink PDF file size as advertised
afpdriverMarch 25, 2013
Pros
I've tried several PDF compressor programs, PDF compression software found on the web, only this application offers the best compression ratio by average. The program consumes about 42MB of memory, however, it does not slow down my Windows 8 during the compression process.
Cons
A newer version is available on the publisher's website. If you need PDF version 2.0, you can get the latest version from NicePDF website. The size of scanned PDF files that generated by HP scanners cannot be reduced. Asked the support, and the reply was 'the PDF files are already compressed by HP software'.
Summary
An easy-to-use PDF compressor, it's free.
Tried every setting but it doesn't work.

Pros
Good for killing time and getting annoyed.
Cons
Doesn't work.
Summary
Horrible experience - doesn't work
tinarhodes68March 12, 2013
Pros
None if I could give it zero stars I would.
Cons
Not ONLY did it not work... when I tried to open my 'newly compressed pdf's', there were NO PAGES. I now have to go back and spend ANOTHER HOUR scanning all the documents I just did an hour ago. What a waste of time! I thought I could trust anything from C-Net... I guess I learned my lesson the hard way!
Summary
doesn't compress anything

Pros
Can't find any
Cons
Doesn't do anything
Summary
installed it twice, tried it twice. Worth what you paid for it. ZERO
