Well no wonder. It's stored as near print quality, and 100% pictures.  If it 
could be redone in regular type, it would be under 500k. I don't know 
anything about Asian typefaces, but if the bloke who created it would save 
it as an Adobe PDF or even EPS it would be much, much smaller.

I got it down to 10 MB using Acrobat.  Didn't try to make it any smaller.
