As I remember, pdflatex jpeg file format but not eps or ps format.
try to use program epstopdf to convert eps to pdf format. Or if you have ps
file, you can convert it to eps with ps2epsi then epstopdf. "epstopdf" produce
small file normally.

you need to set the resolution of the *.jpg. Sometimes digital camera produce
to high resolution image, which is actually not needed by the document (pdf).
Setting the resolution and size of pictures will reduce the size of *.pdf as
well as *.jpg.
