You can scan a document and convert to pdf, but then what you have is a pdf description of a picture, so it is naturally pretty big. Whereas if you produce the pdf from the machine-readable text that is in the file it should come out a lot smaller.
I have a multi-page document that is 138 megabytes in the source text and goes to 244 megabytes in pdf. So not too bad an expansion.
