How can I get a really big InDesign (30 MB) file into a PDF file less than 10 MB?

It is a document of 20 pages, including dozens of pictures and a few vector graphics which are .pdf or .ai, respectively. All are links, not integrated. I created the document for printing, but now need a version to display on a Web site that has a maximum size of 10 MB.

I tried a lot of things, including:

  • Choose export to Adobe PDF format as "smallest file size".
  • Size reduction in all related photos Photoshop. (FYI, they now range from 1 MB to 4 MB)
  • Save the PDF as a PDF of reduced size.
  • When you export to PDF, compress images to 72 dpi. (This made me the smallest size I could get: a little more than 18 MB)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Once more, since it's only for the web, try to save copies (file > export) your files HAVE as hi-res JPG, then using the jpg files in a copy of your InDesign file. Make your PDF and see if the size is acceptable. It is a faster way to test that juggle the vector files to reduce points of control, etc.
