pdftk

I have on each page of my PDF document a line with this string: %REPLACE% Which I'd like to find and replace with another string.

I use pdftk to compress a pdf using the following command line pdftk file1.pdf output file2.pdf compress It works as the weight of my file decreased. Are there [options] to change the compression???
