Many thanks Uwe for all your useful tips. Wouldn't it be better for Lyx itself to allow for low-res PDF output, printable PDF output and what not?
No because LyX is not a PDF editor. LyX creates different output formats, after that its your decision what you do with them.
The mentioned PDF compression level supported by pdflatex won't help you much because it only compresses the PDF and does not recalculate the included images. If you for example increase the compression level in Acrobat, your 10 MB PDF will afterwards have a size of about 9.5-9 MB. But when you recalculate all images in the PDF, the file size can be decreased down to 3 MB.
