The *one* conversion that I did with CutePDF created a pdf that was
about the same size as the total jpg's that went into it. I may *buy*
(gulp!) Acrobat Pro if I find CutePDF to be lacking.

Thanks,

That sounds quite reasonable. Acrobat has the option to globally
downsample images to lower resolution, IIRC, so you can create
relatively small crappy pdfs, but I imagine that if CutePDF doesn't do
that you could manually reduce the resolution of the photos first-- in
fact a good image editing program (eg. Photoshop) might do a better
job downsampling than Acrobat.
