I haven't been following this thread bewcause it does not seem to be an iText 
issue.

Have you checked you settings in Adobe Acrobat to see the amount of 
down-sampling of images? IIRC, the default for Adobe Acrobat 3 (Exchange) was 
75 dpi, which would give you a significant reduction in file size, while still 
being adequate for viewing on your computer's monitor.

This has nothing to do with iText, as iText doesn't downsample (reduce the 
resolution of) images, but might explain part of the reduction of file sizes 
you're seeing with Acrobat.

Best regards,
