Quite A Box Of Tricks is a plug-in for Adobe’s Acrobat from Quite Software.
The aim of Quite A Box Of Tricks is to make easy commonly needed PDF functions that were difficult, time consuming, expensive, or just impossible. The functions come under five heading: shrink, colour, transform, fields, and info. The plug-in is extremely easy to use, but also comes with a 48 page online guide to give extra insight into PDF and get the most out of the plug-in.
Shrink
* Subsample and/or recompress images without any need to redistill.
* Can produce dramatic space savings.
* Ideal for web page preparation, proofing, or fixing bad distiller settings.
* Offers "JPEG extra", stronger compression than Distiller will allow.
* Easy access to compression settings through named profiles.
* See the results immediately - if you compress too much just hit Restore and try again with different settings.
Colour
* Convert any PDF file to CMYK by converting all RGB and Lab data to CMYK.
* Optionally convert all spot plates to process (CMYK).
* On MacOS (including OSX) and Windows 98/Me/2000/XP (only) use ICC profiles for precise, accurate colour conversion.
* Convert to greyscale, or all text to black.
Transform
* Choose a minimum line thickness to make "hairlines" print on high res devices - fix an entire file at once.
* Scale pages.
* Free rotate by any angle.
* Mirror pages e.g. for film or for fabric transfers.
Fields
* Combine form fields into document so they cannot be modified or lost.
* Remove all form fields to shrink files.
* Make annotations a part of the document, or remove them all.
Info
* Get information on text and images in a PDF file.
* For text, shows the exact font used, and whether it is embedded and/or subsetted.
* For images, shows exact dimensions, how well it compressed, JPEG method, DPI, and more.
* Search document for the largest images or for RGB image to identify troublespots.
* Shrink or recompress individual images.
* Identify not only the JPEG method but the version of Distiller used to compress.
