HI,

Some options;
- PDF's are optimised for different purposes; Web or Printing. It is
possible that your manual is optimised for printing, and therefore larger.
Sometimes you can reprocess a pdf for a different purpose by printing
postscript to a file, then converting the postscript to pdf again. (Try
printing to postscript then using acrobat writer to reconvert with
appropriate settings for the 770; This is tricky and can take some time  -
but can give good results)

- Sometimes you can split the pdf up into multipe files. I think you can use
acrobat to do this on an existing file; or if you are using the 'printing'
option above just convert page ranges.

- convert the PDF to html then just access it with the browser.  The
quickest option. Just be careful with the settings or you can stuff up your
graphics. (I use greenstone's pdf import facility to do this [
www.greenstone.org])

Good luck.

Stephen
