This is almost certainly the case but also the file is probably over specc'd
if it's primary purpose is web distribution. At only two pages (assuming A4
or Letter size, and a reasonable font, 5Mb is way too big and the PDF could
probably benefit greatly from optimising the images within the PDF (greater
compression, reducing dpi etc)

This can be done from within Acrobat 6, from within Acrobat 5 if Photoshop
is installed on the same machine, or by opening in Photoshop and remaking
the PDF.
