RE: Compressing PDF Size

["Martinek, Carla" <CMartinek -at- zebra -dot- com>]

If you're authoring in FrameMaker, check out SP TimeSavers from Shlomo
Perets (Microtype).  I highly recommend this utility.

"FrameMaker adds a PDF named destination for each and every paragraph
(even if empty), regardless of whether a destination is actually
required or not. This can significantly "bloat" the resulting PDF.

During the distilling, UnBloat identifies which destinations are used
and deletes the unused ones. Typically, this reduces PDF file size by
15% to 25%, depending on the contents and original size. In documents
with multi-cell tables and multiple columns, size reduction is even more
significant."
