GhostScript's -dPDFSETTINGS flag maps to four internal configurations. /screen aggressively downsamples all colour images to 72 dpi — suitable only for on-screen viewing. /ebook uses 150 dpi, a good balance for tablet and desktop reading. /printer preserves 300 dpi for high-quality desktop or office printing. /prepress also uses 300 dpi but additionally preserves colour profiles (ICC), overprint settings, and halftone information required for commercial offset printing.

How PDF Compression Works: GhostScript Presets and Image Downsampling Explained
PDF compression is not a single operation — it is a combination of image downsampling, font subsetting, object stream compression, and metadata trimming. GhostScript orchestrates all of these under its quality preset flags.
The Four GhostScript Quality Presets
Why Text PDFs Compress Less
A PDF composed entirely of vector text (like one exported from Word or InDesign) already stores text as compact mathematical descriptions — not as pixels. GhostScript can still apply Flate compression to object streams, but the gains are modest (10–25%). The dramatic 60–90% reductions happen only when the PDF contains many high-resolution embedded raster images, which are downsampled to the preset DPI.
Font Subsetting During Compression
During re-distillation GhostScript also subsets embedded fonts — stripping out the glyph data for characters not used in the document. A font that originally contained 1,200 glyphs may only need 80 for a particular document. Font subsetting alone can save several hundred kilobytes in font-heavy documents.
Scanned PDF vs Digital PDF
Scanned PDFs consist of full-page raster images at 300–600 dpi per page. A 50-page scan at 300 dpi can easily exceed 30 MB. Compressing with Screen preset reduces each page image to 72 dpi — often achieving 80%+ reduction with minimal impact on legibility for text documents. For archival use, eBook (150 dpi) is a safer choice that retains clear text at a significantly smaller size.
When Compression Will Not Help
If your PDF was already compressed with GhostScript at the same or higher quality setting, re-running compression will not make it significantly smaller and may slightly inflate the file due to overhead in the new cross-reference table. PDFs that are already below 1 MB rarely benefit from further compression.
