Aha!  Now we're getting somewhere.  On the Mac (and Windows too, for 
that matter) PDF handling thru the Print menu is often a different 
piece of software.  In other words, you may be composing in Pages, 
but when you print, it's actually invoking a special print driver 
that is not necessarily part of Pages.

The Mac in particular has a lot of PDF processing options already 
built in.  If you care to dig around a little, you may find a PDF 
control panel or set of Options/Preferences.  It might even be 
accessible from Pages print menu.  Very often there are settings that 
govern how the PDF print processor should handle images it 
encounters.  If you can find those settings, I'll bet you can change 
them to produce nice, small PDFs.

Sorry, not being a Mac guy I can't point you directly at the place to do it.

Cheers!
