Thanks Jim. I tried it and it seemed to work, but when she received it
on her Windows machine, she couldn't open it. When I used the routine
built into OS 10, she had no trouble with it.

On Apple's Automator Actions download page is the following:

"About Compress PDF Workflow
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) does not exhibit the “Compress PDF” workflow
on the Print dialog that used to appear in OS X 10.4 (Tiger). This
package will restore “Compress PDF” to the Print dialog."

Thanks Betty.
It turns out that Apple had the the solution to the problem built
in to OS 10! I just didn't realize it, but someone else told me
about it. Thanks, Steve Jobs and Apple!!
1. Make the PDF as usual, using the Print command and PDF > Save as
PDF...
2. Open the PDF in Preview, the go File > Save As...
3. Select Format: PDF, and Quartz Filter: Reduce File Size; then Save
It worked very well.

When you make changes in a document to make it smaller, be sure to
"Save As..." to replace the original. The original may contain
extraneous data that you deleted, but are still in the file for to
allow an "Undo". There's only one level of "Undo" in AppleWorks
and Graphic Converter, but it may be enough to bloat the file.
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.
