+There have been prior attempts to do similiar things. I found
+\texttt{degrade.sty}\footnote{see

+ and an equivalent con\TeX t module, there are at least two threads on
+ stackexchange\footnote{see

+and
+\texttt{http://tex.stackexchange.com/\\questions/2198/how-to-create-small-pdf-files-for-the-internet}}
+ and there had been, as
+I have learned, some work by Axel Berger and others, posted 2011-03-31 on
+\texttt{de.comp.text.tex}.

+But what motivated me most to find something better than scaling pictures
+individually was seeing that Adobe InDesign\textregistered\ does
+scale graphics according to the output intent.
