PDF File size changes from SQL2000 to SQL2005

Hi All

A report that I have written in Visual Studio 2003 and published to an SQL2000 Server consists of 142 pages and is rendered in pdf format to be emailed to a user. The size of the attached pdf file is 814Kb - Application Microsoft Reporting Services 8.0

I have now opened the report in Visual Studio 2005 and converted it to this format. I have published this to our SQL2005 server and the 142 page pdf file created is 9.40Mb in size - Application Microsoft Reporting Services 9.0

Is there any way I can reduce the size of this back to it's original 814Kb

Cheers Alan

Hi All

Further to this thread:

If i run the report in Visual Studio 2005 and then select the save as pdf option the file is saved and the size is 678Kb - Microsoft Reporting Services 9.0

This seems to be something to do with the encryption of the file
