How can  I get PDFshrink to work on my iMac OS 10.1.5? It is offered
as an option in the file menu under services but the words PDFshrink
are grey and cannot be accessed?  The help menu does not recognise the
words  Services or PDF shrink. my Mac phone-in help has expired and
checking this question on the Mac Web pages is far too complex and I
get lost.

I want to  e-mail 16 page newsletters - with frames and JPEGs and
text, in Appleworks word processing - saved as 10 PDF files from Print
Preview. Acrobat Reader 5.0 came with the computer.


  Alternatively, if I could find a way to download PDFshrink Lite I
understand it would work but is no longer available.  I have 
downloaded the 10.2 edition "PDFshrink" but I cannot open the PHP
file.

Serious disability and poor health precludes possibility of Updating 
of 10.1.5 to Tiger At present time I need a 10.1 solution.

If download 10.2 to get "PDFshrink" by Apago I have to be certain that
I will not have to retrain my voice all over again  on my ViaVoice for
Mac, v. 3.0, it has taken me 3 years to get it up to scratch - with a
British accent too.

contact with Apago produced the following reply: 

PDFshrink Lite is an older version of PDFshrink. It should run fine on
10.15 if you can find a copy. However, We no longer sell it nor
provide download links for the product. - I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND
IT -

If you find a copy of it  from one of the software download sites, you
can purchase a serial number for the current PDFshrink from our
webstore at http://www.apagostore.com . The serial number will work
with PDFshrink Lite.

We do not support PDFshrink on 10.15 but you are welcome to try it. It
may or may not run. If it does some features such as PDF_Services will
not function. But the basics should work just fine. You can download a
trail version from http://www.apagoinc.com/pdfshrink Just be aware
that we list the minimum required OS for  PDFshrink at 10.2.  I DID. 
IT DID NOT RUN. BACK TO TRYING TO FIND IT ON A "SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
SITE". NOT EASY FOR ME.

I would highly consider upgrading your system to at least 10.2.8. With
the release of Tiger, That upgrade shouldn't cost you much at all, and
it will be a much more stable system.

I know this does not address the core question, but I believe
williamservator-ga was trying to point out that an upgrade to Mac OS X
10.2 "Jaguar" costs as little as $18 at this time.

Also consider contacting Apago directly.
