Tip: Make PDFs more NIT-friendly
 
I was having problems reading a graphics-heavy PDF in Evince on my N800 and found a fix for it, so I thought I'd pass it along. Assuming you have Ghostscript installed, running the following made it so I could open the new PDF and scroll through it without any problems.

Code:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output_file.pdf input_file.pdf
This does destroy any links and bookmarks within the PDF, though.

What does that command do to the PDF?

It reduces the resolution of the images, I think.

Yep, it reduces image resolution down to 72dpi (instead of the 300dpi used for the printer and prepress settings)
