    I have four legal documents in pdf that add up th about 25 mB.

    I've looked at Evince and Xpdf but neither seems to offer a way to
    change the _file_ size.  Gimp will but then it seems it can't save a
    pdf?  Licensing perhaps?

    What do I need to do?

pdf2ps
ps2ps

I began with this huge file:
8718146 2007-12-16 12:57 Livret-de-Famille-2x.pdf

Gimp reduced the size and resolution and I saved the file as a .ps
380821 2007-12-16 13:59 Livret-de-Famille-2x.ps

And then did ps2pdf which produced this which displays and prints a legible copy.

Thanks for the assistance.
