Open the the PDF in Exchange, select the Optimize option, and save it. I
have seen this option alone reduce PDF file size by 98%. No joking. You may
not get this much but you should get a lot.
If that doesn't work, are all your graphics bmp or gif. I have also seen
amazing file size reduction by swapping the bmp screen captures for gif...
