Ok, so my boss sends me 350 MB's of PDF files. There's 72 files, half of 
which are "web resolution at 72dpi" and the other half are "full printing 
resolution at 300 dpi".

  The files are images of our catalogue, and of course they are all seperate 
pages. They want me to put something together to show it as a catalogue for 
our customers on our website, I.E., they download it).

   Bearing in mind that the low-res files are around 1 to 2 MB's, that would 
certainly be over 36MB's to download, and I don't think customers would want 
to do that whether they have broadband or not. Our competitors are doing the 
same thing, but their complete 'hi-res' catalogue is no more than 10 MB's, 
and their 'low res' catalogue is around 4 MB's.

   So what do I do? Is there a program that will compress PDF files without 
taking too much quality away?

    I've never played with PDF files before, so I'm at a complete loss as to 
what to do. Any ideas?
