Hmmm, I've never tried it, but you might find that ImageMagick will Just
Work if you have it installed -

  convert -resize 50% foo.pdf foo-output.pdf

I'd try it here now, but I've discovered that I've broken something on
this system and it complains that it can't find libgimpprint.so.1 in
order to parse a PDF file. Quite why ImageMagick wants a gimp print
library in order to decode a PDF file is beyond me. Welcome to modern-
day Linux dependency hell :-(

cheers
