I am quite impressed with the reader but I have some pdf files which are quite large (around 45mb), these have some pictures.

I have loaded these on the reader but the file size makes it very slow and cannot zoom into the text - therefore illegible.

I would prefer to simplify the document, especially the images which could be converted from photo quality to quite low-res.

I have seen the Sony document to optimize files for the reader but I have not purchased Acrobat or QuarkXpress. I have tried OpenOffice but it cannot open the files and crashes each time.

Is there a tool out there to simplify a pdf document?
