Hi Prerna,
Check the formats of the images that constitute your User Manual. If they
are bitmaps (screenshots are by default in the bitmap format), open them
with any image-editing software, and save them as GIFs. Reinsert the GIFs
in the manual and then try converting it to PDF. This will enhance the
quality of the images and bring down the doc size drastically!
Also try setting the image resolution to 300...
HTH,
Prabhat
