Disable auto start for Android File Transfer

Close Android File Transfer
Open Activity Monitor and kill “Android File Transfer Agent”
Go to where you installed “Android File Transfer.app” (I have it under /Applications)
Ctrl+click –> “Show package contents”
Go to Contents/Resources
Rename “Android File Transfer Agent” to e.g. “Android File Transfer Agent_DISABLED”
Then go to “/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer” and again rename the Agent app.

Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

/screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
/ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
/printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
/prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.
