You'd have to work out why they're so big, first. If it embeds fonts, you could probably remake the PDF using default fonts. If it embeds graphics, you might be able to remake it with compressed graphics (though they will look worse). If it embeds text as pre-rendered graphics, you could use optical character recognition to change them to just text. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
