Compress PDF files on your Mac

I was looking through ways to compress scanned PDF files on Preview (Mac OSX 10.6.8 at the time of writing), and wanted something better than the in-built quartz filters which output a really small file with poor image quality.

Stumbled across this post by Jerome Colas on the Apple forums, and thanks to the instructions there, now I can have more control over my scanned PDFs before emailing them.

Of course, this still doesn't beat Distiller and the like.
