I Just need to create a windows service which watches a folder and compresses all pdf files created or moved to that folder. Size of the pdf's are huge around 60 MB. The compressed file should be in the same format(pdf).
pdf contains large sized images and text.

Does anyone have any idea?

Mark this as answer, if it is.....

With regards
Nishithraj Narayanan
