It should depend on how the image is referenced, if it's embedding the image once in the document, if it's referenced multiple times and embedding it multiple times, or if it's an external link. The obvious answer if you don't care about quality is to reduce the size of the image before you try to embed it. There are many programs which can transform an image to a smaller file, which you could do with either embedded code or a batch script.

Is there a way in FOP to reduce the size of the PDF? We are embedding the PDF with a high resolution graphics which creates a huge PDF document. One of the departments here at work would prefer a smaller PDF document, and they don't care about the quality of the graphics. Is there a way we can do this? Note, we are only using the batch file of FOP to generate the PDF.
