Quite easy to do: Create a PDF from PageMaker then open the PDF in
Photoshop and you'll create 16 separate full page graphics which will
either be huge or illegible (you make the choice).
In creating the PDF you have many options according to what you want
to use the PDF for -- for quality printing, low quality office
printing, showing on the web etc. Within Acrobat Pro you have more
options to control the size and you can even create the pages as
small, low quality JPEGs to act as thumbnails on a web site and as
links to good quality PDFs of pages.
Lots of choices, but none of them using the methods suggested to you.
The current 1.3MB PDF is very good compression from a 245MB original!
and considering that your web site has information on the individual
items separately, I would not think it is too big for a download, for
someone who wants the complete catalog and has already seen details of
what you do. It took only a few seconds to view in Firefox. I'd say
that whoever produced that PDF has already created a very good
compromise on quality and file size.
