Project description:
"I need an ultra-efficient solution that reliably shrinks very large PDF documents—up to about 2,500 pages—down to roughly 7 MB without crashing or corrupting the file. The compressed PDFs will be uploaded to a web portal, so the resulting file must open quickly in a browser and keep text selectable while images are reduced to a sensible, medium-quality resolution.

You’re free to build the compressor as a standalone desktop app, a command-line script, or a lightweight web utility; what matters is that it runs on Windows and can be integrated into an automated workflow later. Popular libraries such as Ghostscript, qpdf, or Python-based solutions are fine as long as licensing permits commercial use.

Please make sure the compressor:
• Accepts PDF input only.
• Consistently produces output ≤ 7 MB for a 2,500-page test file.
• Preserves searchable text and bookmarks while applying medium-quality image down-sampling.
• Finishes a full run in a reasonable time (minutes, not hours) on standard hardware.

Deliverables:
1. Executable or script with clear usage instructions.
2. Source code and build steps.
3. A short report detailing the compression approach and any adjustable parameters so we can tweak quality-to-size ratios in future." (client-provided description)
