A handy side use for this is compressing PDFs.

For some reason, printing 1 page of an Excel or Word document to a PDF often gets up to around 4MB in size. Passing it through this compresses it quite well.

Just ran a quick test:

- 1-page Excel PDF export: 3.7MB

- Processing with Dangerzone (OCR enabled): 131KB
