# PDF-Merge-Compress-Split

This powershell is a simple interface (GUI or CLI) that calls the Ghostscript software (gswin64c.exe)

## EXAMPLE

In GUI: just double click the file or run from a PowerShell terminal:

_.\Main.ps1_

**Do NOT execute the following file directly: _Core.psm1_ !**

In CLI, to compress each pdf file in the script's directory (script referential is from the Main.ps1 file), run:

.\Main.ps1 -cli $true

This script doesn't need to be run as Administrator
