Reduction of PDF File Sizes / Image Fill Best Practice

Hey folks,

I am working on a medium scale piece of landscape renovation that encompasses the back courts and streetscape of 3 blocks in Glasgow. For flower beds, grass etc I have been using image fills to make the plans easier to read for community consultation, client presentations etc...

But doing so results in monstrous file sizes.... Each A3 plan is around 70MB and therefore won't send the the printer with out being compressed to JPG in photoshop. Is there any way of using image fills that doesn't cause this explosion in file size?

Cheers, Scott
