Try Quite A Box Of Tricks... and if you have Adobe 5.0 full version you can use its batch processor that will allow you to compress your PDF files in main and sub folders....Basically the text and grpahic files are compress. I normally set my compression scheme to 150DPI. But you can test this out yourself. Quite a Box of Tricks (Shrink Routine) works great!

Caution not to use the demo version on your original files without saving the original because the demo places an irrevesible X across the page.
