Downsize PDF generated via XSL:FO

["Cheryl Dwyer" <dwyercl2 -at- verizon -dot- net>]

We have a client who is creating PDF files via XSL:FO using our software product. They had a large graphic (about 4MB) in what turned into a very large PDF file. When they substituted a smaller graphic (about 1 MB) for the larger one, it did not change the size of the re-generated PDF file by much. 

Does anyone have any ideas as to why the file size remained so large?

Thanks,
Cheryl
