Are you using a bunch of image files that are getting included?

Yeah - tons of image files. But aren't they included at 72 dpi?

Typo, have you tried doing a "save as" without renaming the file? It will replace the current file with an "optimized" version. Should decrease memory quite a bit.

The full version of Acrobat has a number of tools for reducing file size. It's the large number of image files that's making your file so large. Be default I don't believe that they pulled down to screen resolution. The PDF format has a bias towards print quality, not screen quality as a default.

My fundamental problem that I was trying to use the Acrobat print driver to create the pdf directly from my dtp. Instead, I used the native dtp export to pdf, then pulled that pdf into the full version of acrobat, and used the settings suggested, and then did a bit more tweaking. Thanks so much for the suggestions - they helped a great deal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking to find a not so expensive tablet for my sister. I want it to be full sized, not seven inches, if possible. Colour, Android Market access, etc.
So far, I think her main usage would be note taking as she does research, as well as standard internet functionality. I figure cell access is too complicated, since she's in a foreign market and a Blackberry user to boot (no SIM to use, or whatever).
I've really only been paying attention to the Galaxy Tab/Transformer side of the world. I did try to get her a WebPad, but missed the window by minutes.
Is there a decent tablet south of the $500 price point? I haven't been looking at Kindles et al, since convincing her to go ebook will be a complex second step.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Toshiba Thrive with 32GB is a little under $500, and the 16GB version is $400.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My Tab is 16GB and that's so far totally enough memory. So the Thrive should be fine for her.
However, right now, I'm also wondering that very selfish thing--do I upgrade and give her my hand me down? I love the Tab, but the Transformer Prime specs look *sweet*. But googling seems to indicate it's pretty tightly locked down, with a locked and encrypted bootloader. Man, these people sure like exercising their control over an open source OS. Meanies.
What Android device(s) do you have, dcp?

...16GB and that's so far totally enough memory.
Also, with the SD card slot, you can add quite a lot of memory whenever you want.
I have a 32GB Thrive and a Galaxy Nexus phone. I still have my original Motorola Droid phone, haven't decided if I am going to donate it or keep it to experiment on.
