Question: Should a 27-30 page pdf weigh upwards of 30M?
I am currently working with a designer that ships me these outrageous pdf files of no more than 30 pages. The majority of the pages are black/white.
I believe she is working in InDesign, but may be still using Quark.

Is this right? I'm feeling these files could be alot less in weight.
Any advice and/or guidance is appreciated!

Thanks, everyone
