ShrinkIt overview
ShrinkIt takes bloated Adobe-saved graphic PDFs, runs them through Apple’s PDF renderer, and saves them back out, making many of them smaller without any quality loss.
Note, though: it’s not really for long complex PDF documents or bitmap images. It’s generally for simple PDF symbols and glyphs you might use in your apps, where saving space is critical.

Version: 1.0
I found a much better, free alternative which works in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Apple does offer to reduce file size using Preview, if you save the document as a new file and choose Quartz filter > Reduce file size.
Here's the link to Apple's support document:

Dragged a 15.9MB PDF file (drawings, diagrams) into the Shrink It box, and the output file was ..... 15.9MB!

Hilariously absurd !
I took a 3 MB .pdf file and it "shrunk it" to 7.6 MB
I kid you not !

It shrank some, it nearly doubled the size of others.
I'll check back on version 1.1.
It's a great idea, and the price is right, but ...
