Alvin,
Take the five color photos separately and open each in Preview. 'Save
As' dialog box gives a sliding scale at the bottom when you select JPEG.
Move the slider to the left for lower quality and your photo file size will
be much smaller.
I just took a +2MB photo, reduced quality to almost the lowest and the
result was ~50KB. It's a bit grainy, looks OK, but real estate fact
sheets are usually grainy anyway. You should be able to get the photos
below 100KB, maybe as small as 40KB. You could use GC, but Preview
is convenient--it's in your Dock.
Import the photos back into the fact sheet. Then print to PDF.

I've made a Real Estate Fact Sheet PDF for my GF, which looks nice
but is too large to email to her. The first page has five color
photos and weighs in at 25 MB.
My tools are a G5 iMac running Mac OS 10.5.2, AppleWorks, and
GraphicConverter. Somehow, even though I've tried to bring down the
file size of the photos to about 400KB each in GC, pasting them into
AW and using the iMac Print function to create the PDF, the file size
seem to ballon up.
What am I doing wrong? How can I bring the total PDF file size down
to 10MB or less, so that I can email the file to her and she can
print it? If I don't do this, it may affect our relationship! : (
