PDF created from Iplot is too big, am unable to print to an 11x17 printer

I am plotting a large plan set using Iplot.  Roughly 130+ sheets and the pdf is 48 MB.  When we open the file in Adobe acrobat, we are unable to print to a regular printer; however, I am able to send the file to our plotter with no problems.

Is there a setting somewhere that can be adjusted to make the file sizes smaller?

I have tried reducing the files in Adobe acrobat, but it does not work.

I am using a bently printer.  I have color tables and pen tables set up.  The same color tables and pen tables were previously used to create plots with no problem.

    After further investigation of the problem, we think that something with the DGN files is causing the pdfs to get hung up when sending to a local printer. Some sheets print just fine, but there are other sheets that get hung up. Could the reference files in our Sheet DGN files cause a problem? (I noticed one of the sheets that was having hangups had an extra reference file attached). Would compressing design files help?
