Make PDF file smaller? How?

[Kdar]

I need to send my portfolio with my graphics and site work to one company. But they don't accept files which are bigger than 500kb

My PDF file is 1500kb, how can I reduce it to 500kb?

The easiest way to shrink the file size of a PDF in Acrobat 8 is to click on Document > Reduce File Size. For the compatibly setting I would recommend Acrobat 6 and later. The higher compatibility setting you choose, the smaller the file size will be. The downside of choosing a high compatibility setting is that people with older versions of Acrobat will not be able to open the document. For that reason, Acrobat 6 and later is usually a safe bet.
