Summary description: Cache includegraphics calls
Announcement text:
Are you waiting forever while your document compiles? Are you tired of trial-and-error downscaling your images to make the output document smaller? This LaTeX package provides caching of `\includegraphics` calls, with several useful effects: * Recompilations are much faster * Images can be postprocessed with `ghostscript` before inclusion, thus: * Automatic downscaling to specified DPI * Automatic JPEG compression with configurable quality * Much smaller files (e.g. 10MB instead of 150MB)! It needs '-shell-escape', however.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicscache The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/graphicscache/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

graphicscache – Cache includegraphics calls
This LaTeX package provides caching of \includegraphics calls, with several useful effects:
- Recompilations are much faster (10x speedup observed).
-
Images can be postprocessed with ghostscript
before inclusion, thus:
- Automatic downscaling to specified DPI
- Automatic JPEG compression with configurable quality
- Much smaller files (e.g. 10MB instead of 150MB)!
Note: Due to the one-by-one invocation of pdflatex and ghostscript for each graphics element, the first compilation is typically slower than usual.
Note: graphicscache needs the \write18 call (also called shell escape). This is a security risk if you have untrusted TeX sources.
graphicscache supports pdfLaTeX and LuaLaTeX; XeLaTeX is not supported.
