drawing size
(OP)
We PDF our drawings with Adobe. Until recently this process has been working fine. Recently our drawings size (data - Mb) is getting too large. One of the pdf's was 8ish Mb.
We tried NicePDF but this does not compress enough.
Any suggestions?

RE: drawing size
Check to see if your PDF's are raster (pixels) or vector. Do this by zooming in on a corner where lines meet. If the lines keep resolution, then you are getting vector. If they get blurry, you have raster.
Vector-formatted PDF's will be smaller.

Using Adobe Acrobat 5.0
I've suggested we try Acrobat 8.0
>> options I get to select - although nothing seems to make a difference
Compress text and Line art, Down Sample Images, ASCCII Format
Color/Greyscale Images - Jpeg Med is what i am using
Monochrome Images - CCITT Group 4 is what i am using

ryandis, I too use Solid Edge, you may want to aske this question in the Solid Edge forum http://www.eng-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=562 in fact I think it may have come up there before.
A real cluge may be, make a copy of the drawing. Convert to 2D draft. Create your pdf from that and see if it makes a difference.
Are you setting the page size in PDF to match that in SE?
