Open Source command line tool for optimizing PDF
Are there any open-source command line tool for optimizing PDF in Ubuntu. I have used Ghost Script and i am able to convert the PDF into 72 dpi,
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen
-dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH
-sOutputFile=myOutput.pdf myInput.pdf
But what i would like to do is mention what dpi i want to convert the PDF to, like a 300 dpi PDF file to 90 dpi PDF file.
command-line pdf open-source optimization

Maybe you should rephrase your question since optimizing pdfs might be confused with linearizing them which is not what you're asking for.

I'll quote zweifel's comment on http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphowto-reduce-adobe-acrobat-file-size-from-command-line.html:
dPDFSETTINGS=/screen(screen-view-only quality, 72 dpi images)
dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook(low quality, 150 dpi images)
dPDFSETTINGS=/printer(high quality, 300 dpi images)
dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress(high quality, color preserving, 300 dpi
imgs)
dPDFSETTINGS=/default(almost identical to /screen)
More options and fine tunning on the site:
http://milan.kupcevic.net/ghostscript-ps-pdf/
Thus you should use either the option dPDFSETTINGS=/printer or the option dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress to get 300 dpi.
