# Reduce-Mac-PDF-size-with-4D-Ghostscript-Plugin

This is a 4D v19.x sample to reduce 4D created PDF files with a 4D Ghostscript Plugin



Based on Keisuke Miyako GS Plugin, check there for updates. https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-gs

Under **Releases** the 4D (4th-Dimension) sample database is available.

The Ghostscript plugin from Miyako compresses a large Mac PDF file with various Ghostscript options.

## How to use the sample database ?

1. click on **Releases** and load the sample database

The sample database does not include the required Ghostscript plugin. 

To get the latest version of the GS plugin, I refer to the Github repository of Miyako.



2. open this link to download the Ghostscript plugin from Miyako

https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-gs

3. click on **Releases**.



4. download the Mac plugin image



5. open the GS.dmg

6. drag the GS.bundle 4D plugin to the plugins folder of the sample application



7. start the sample database with 4D >= v19.x and experience the magic of smaller PDF files on Mac



**To create small PDF files with 4D Windows, I refer to this commercial plugin**
