Do you need to keep it in PDF format? I know PDFs can be converted to JPEGs. There might be better options .

How did it become a pdf in the first place.

I've got that annoyed trying to do the same thing before I've printed it out and scanned it in lower quality. PDF's are rubbish to deal with.

As said, full acrobat has compression built in. It's under Tools > Optimisation. I use it all the time, you just adjust the slider accordingly, obviously you need to tinker and see which quality you can handle.

Only think I will say is you can't do it if it's locked or has renderable text.

You can also save it to be compatible with older versions and it compresses the file size considerably.

What did you use to create the PDF? Even the most basic PDF creators like the one found in Office let you save the file for 'e-mail'. Illustrator and Indesign have more complex options which let you set JPEG compression quality, font emedding e.t.c. too.

In Acrobat 9, thre is an Optimize option which decreases the size of the file.

Edit; Send it my way and i'll get it done for you at lunch.
