This won't work with Distiller as Distiller parses PostScript files, and not PDF's. However, the concept is clever. You could save a PostScript file from each of the documents, and drop it into a Distiller watched folder with job options for a lower-res PDF. You'd want to change the file names on the second set so you don't have mass confusion between one file and another. In Acrobat 6, you could also use the built-in PDF Optimizer to downsample the PDF. Then you simply save it with a new file name. There also are third-party optimizers available. I'm surprised no one has suggested one of those as an option. Good luck.

Drop all of the hi-res files into the folder and let Distiller do it's thing.
