Hi,

I'd suggest putting them into InDesign if possible, even if you have
to download a 30 day trial to do so.

The best way I've found to keep quality and reduce file size with 
PDFs is by exporting them as EPS files from InDesign then distilling
that.To do this you'd also need Acrobat Professional though.

Good luck,
Kelly
