Size is definetly a PDF downside especially with scanned or rastor PDFs. Couple options exist though, if you're using scanned images, try to avoid color (really blows up PDF size) if you must use color use jpgs or pngs, use group4 tiff compression for scan settings for B&W material. If using image+hidden text PDFs try to standardize embedded fonts. Messy OCR information can make a 75% or more size difference

For general issues, check out Pit Stop from enfocus. Very good tool for prefighting PDFs before release for size, versions, etc.
