I find this version to be 12.2 MB. I opened it in Acrobat 8.1 Pro. After
Advanced optimization it came to 10.9 MB. There are many settings. I can
reduce the resolution, but it might become hard to read. I next tried
Document -> Reduce File Size. Some of the characters are a little fuzzy,
though probably still readable. It now is slightly bigger!? Next there is
Document -> Optimize Scanned PDF. There are a lot of settings. I'll start
with it in the middle. That made a big change. The characters are darker.
And the size is 1 MB. I'll e-mail it to you.
