Overly large PDF documents with pictures

[bojangles]

My PDF files are overly large even when the Word files that they come from are tiny in comparison. What gives? The problem seems to be with the pictures inside but I don't know why that would be the case when Word makes them so small. I heard that it was not a great idea to put Word files up on a website because fonts inside get subbed for system alternates if the visitor doesn't have Microsoft Office on their computer. I convert to PDF to keep formatting so am I stuck between a rock and a hard place? Word files that are small but can potentially look ugly, or PDFs that look right yet are huge!!!! Help!

Here you go http://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf it will compress the images inside and churn out much smaller files
