I think this one was from livecode--but it's only four pages, and it's
468k.  Adobe crops this down to 388k, with the warning "The PDF document
contained image masks that were not downsampled."

I just ran some new files.

Here's the 2.1Mb dochawkbk.com/dochawkbk.130602b.livecode.output.pdf which
drops to 1.1 Mb from Adobe creating
dochawkbk.com/dochawkbk.130602b.livecode.output.sm.pdf

And my cover pages, starting at
283Kb:dochawkbk.com/dochawkbk.130602b.cover_pages.pdf

 reduce to dochawkbk.com/dochawkbk.130602b.cover_pages.sm.pdf

This would be a *very* small case; a typical filing is about 70-90 pages,
not 38.
