Is there Windows freeware that will batch shrink a set of PDF files (w/o
changing the number of files)?

This is a followup on a previous thread where we found PDFsam freeware
useful to split a single PDF file into multiple smaller PDF files; but we
found it necessity to use Adobe Acrobat Professional to shrink those files
(because PDFsam's size-target is plus or minus too large an amount).

The use model would be two steps:
1. Split a large PDF into multiple smaller PDFs (around 1000KB each, plus
or minus a huge 25% though)
2. Then compress any files that were higher than 1,000KB down to 1,000KB or
lower (if possible) in batch mode

Currently this is done with:
1. PDFSam freeware
2. Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional payware

The goal is to find a batch PDF compression utility that will take the
place of the manual Adobe Acrobat PDF compression capabilities.
