Compress PDF files using Python

So, I have gazillion pdfs in the folder, I want to compress them recursively (using os.path.walk). I see that adobe pro has savings as a reduced size. Will I be able to use it / as you suggest, I do it differently.

Note. Yes, I would like them to remain as PDF files, because I believe that this is the most commonly used and installed file viewer.
