Kaye and Geoff, There is method to reduce the pdf file using the ColourSync utility. From memory you have to create a new filter, Image Compression. You the can select the jpeg quality, set it to minimum. Compress your pdf file, it should be reduced somewhat. A good utility is PDFshrink, it allows you to set different pdf compressions, like Screen, Print & e-book. You may be able to get trial version from versiontracker.
