A nice little application for Windows-users is PDFCreator. Open Source too, and availeable here: http://pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator After installing it, it simulates a printer device. You have lot of preferences to squeeze file size. And if printing from Scribus doesn't work directly (as it happend to me once) you can do this workaround: - Export a regular-sized PDF from Scribus - Open it with Adobe Reader - "Print" it with PDFCreator for web use
