Put a low-res image on the site, and make the user download a full-res PDF, with a big warning about large files.

I'm preparing a proposal for a client who wants to display already-prepared print magazine ads on their site in a directory. The magazine ads are currently in PDF format - the client's big beef is they want to retain the high-quality of the print-ready PDF ads on the site (i.e., they don't want to convert them to JPG images because that will reduce quality). These are large, large files. Does anyone know of a program or tool I can use to do such a thing that so the size of the PDFs isn't such an issue, or some way to convert the PDFs to another format that retains quality but reduces file size? It needs to be easy for them to use, preferably something I can integrate into a backend admin system. My first thought was some sort of convert-PDF-to-Flash widget that would let users zoom in on certain areas of the ad to view more details - perhaps I just don't know what to look for because a google search turned up nothing like this. I'm stumped! TIA!
