reduce size of pdf

How do we reduce the size of the pdf?

I have already reduced the size of the images used in the pdf.

PDF is already a very compressed format so its difficult to reduce its size further as u have mentioned u already reduced size of graphics included if possible try to further reduce it, but it cant be reduced in any other way.

I remember people who created a BMP picture for the WHOLE background, which started at the top of the page and ended at the bottom (with a big blank middle part). Wooah big problem for performance. In fact they just needed the top and the bottom so the reduced the picture size a lot by just splitting. BMP is also a format to avoid (I'm not sure if others are supported).
