If you look at this wiki page: http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Image_DPI_and_Scaling,_and_Resultant_File_Sizes you can get a sense of how changing some settings in Scribus or manipulating the images can variably reduce file size of the PDF. Especially with a large document containing many images, you should be using the lowest DPI resolution that makes sense for your purpose. Typically, 150 to 300 DPI is good enough. Using a tiny part of a very large image will load this entire image into the PDF, so cropping before you use the image can be a huge savings. Greg
