If I'm not mistaken (its been a while) you'll get smaller file sizes  
by scanning directly into PDF (if your scanner supports that) than  
turning them into a Graphics file and then creating a PDF from that.  
Or you can use acrobat distiller to 'print' the Graphics file, which  
should also reduce the file size.  I haven't tried lately tho to  
compare the difference between using distiller or just importing the  
graphics file into Acrobat. Perhaps the latest versions of acrobat  
will compress the file adequately?

Personally, I tend to scan to a TIFF which I can edit to my heart's  
content and then just use "create PDF from multiple files" to make  
the PDF.
