Had the same problem.? I did not want to sacrifice the image quality so I saved the PDF in small chunks of about 6 pages each (each page had 4-7 pictures on it).? Then sent the multiple files to the printer so it would not take him too long to open.? A bit tedious, but the only way I could find to keep the high image quality I was looking for.

The PDF includes the images. If you have a lot of images and you don't limit the resolution of the images in the pdf, it will be big. The easiest way to make a smaller PDF is to limit the resolution when you create the PDF and use a lower compression quality.
