Lately ocrmypdf keeps failing when I just wanna compress pdfs so had to do it without fail. Also to clean metadata was using ExifCleaner but didn't realize all metadata can be restored by doing exiftool -pdf-update:all= some.pdf.

qpdf does a decent job of compressing images and the linearize destroys the metadata that was stripped out so it can't be restored.

exiftool --list some.pdf
will show pdf metadata

On Mac (cuz of stupid zsh)

metapdf=$(bash -c 'read -e -p "Input pdf filename to clean metadata and compress: " tmp; echo $tmp') && exiftool -all:all= $metapdf && qpdf --linearize --object-streams=generate $metapdf ${metapdf%.*}_cleaned.pdf

On Linux this should work

read -p "Input pdf filename to clean metadata and compress: " metapdf && exiftool -all:all= $metapdf && qpdf --linearize --object-streams=generate $metapdf ${metapdf%.*}_cleaned.pdf

Another way to compress pdfs is

ps2pdf in.pdf out.pdf
but it's way too slow

On Linux I use MasterPDF Editor to crop pdfs but on Mac not sure what free app there is so resorted to online pdf croppers. Only free one I found that doesn't destroy bookmarks in the process was pdfmonk but gotta use it in Safari.

Stocks (both A-shares and B-shares), bonds, funds, and derivatives are traded on the exchange. The SEE has two trading boards, the Main Board and the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the latter more commonly known as the STAR Market. The Main Board mainly hosts large, well-established Chinese companies and lists both A-shares and B-shares.
