I have a huge pdf file, @ http://penangA1.com/Malaysia/bn106.pdf

Size is over 27 MB.

I need to shrink it.

Anyone know any pdf shrinker that can do the trick?

I tried CVista pdfCompressor, it shrinks the  28,523,179 byte file to
27,100,963 byte file.

A less than 4% shrinking.

I downloaded the free PDF Compressor from www.nicepdf.com but the
compressor tells me that my huge pdf file has a wrong version of some
sort.

I know there's one from Apago, but it runs only on OS-X, not Windows.

So in short, is there any shrinker for that huge file?

Please help.

Thanks !
