PDF Squeezer 4.9 – Simple-to-use PDF compression tool

New:
Added a new profile setting that ensures PDF/A-4 support for long-term document archiving. Incompatible compression options are automatically turned off and disabled.
Added an “Optimize images” option to compression profiles. Turn it off to leave images unchanged while optimizing other PDF content.
Improved importing speed and responsiveness for folders containing thousands of PDFs.
The status bar now appears automatically when more than 10 PDFs are loaded.
Improved the reliability of compression statistics recorded by automation tools such as Automator.
Renamed “Remove document structure tree” to “Remove document tags” and added a tooltip explaining how to preserve accessibility information, including image descriptions.
Improved the reliability of comparison zoom controls when switching views.
Added overall compression progress and an active file count to the status bar.
Added progress rings for individual files in the sidebar when using the new compression engine.
Added sidebar sorting by name, original size, compression ratio, date added, or status, with reversible order.
Added a live status summary below the selected-file count.
Added a translucent, fading background behind sidebar controls and extra scrolling space to keep the last file accessible.
Enabled Save As for multiple selected files, allowing compressed copies to be saved to a chosen folder.
Improved responsiveness when importing many files with Finder tags.
Improved image-quality preservation by avoiding JPEG recompression for tiny file-size savings, making repeated compression more predictable.
Fix:
Fixed a potential cause of Finder Quick Action failures when compression statistics could not be accessed.
Fixed the app becoming unresponsive when saving very large batches of PDFs.
Fixed file permissions being released before background saves finished.
The app now waits for pending saves to finish before quitting.
Fixed image cropping compatibility that could cause other apps to report incorrect image dimensions and resolution.
Fixed comparison profile pickers sometimes appearing incorrectly when entering comparison mode for the first time.
Fixed importing folders dragged from the folder icon in a Finder window’s title bar.
