PDF output file size

Since I can't get my invoices to print to PDF correctly,  I print to a 
PostScript file and then use 'convert file.ps file.pdf' to create a PDF 
invoice to email.  With my graphics my PS files are about half a meg and my 
PDF files are about 22K.

Hope this helps,

Mark

Forgive me if this is the wrong list to post to.

I have set up an invoice style sheet with 2 small graphics, each about
29 kb jpeg's. When I select to print an output, select my style sheet
and specify to use the PDF output it works, but the end result is a 1.9
meg PDF file that is too large to email on a dialup connection.

Removing the 2 jpeg's reduces the file size to 31 kb. Any serious idea's
that still include the graphics ?. Can the PDF engine/convertor be
tweaked to reduce the PDF output quality ?.
