Follow up from Peter's suggestion,
I have used PDFshrink with great success. With PDFshrink you can
convert PostScript, JPEG, TIFF and other formats directly to PDF. You
can create PDF files for; print, eBooks and web files and it work
just fine. It's also available from VersionTraker - http://

I've got an 8 page PDF (1.5Mb).
I've opened a single page in Adobe Illustrator to make some
changes (delete a line of text and add a caption) and resaved the
document.
It's now a whopping 5Mb and remains that way after trying to use
Acrobat to reduce the file size.
Any ideas on a solution - I'm not exactly sure where the original
document is that was used to create the PDF (probably a Word file).
I can highly recommend the shareware utility PDF-Compress for
shrinking PDF Files. I recently had to produce a document as PDF,
and the resultant file ended up at around 30Mb! PDF-Compress
reduced that to about 3.1 Mb, with no appreciable difference in
quality (except for much faster loading speeds).
PDF-Compress is available on VersionTracker, and is worth every
penny of the shareware price if you work with PDF files.
