[HOWTO]How to save a smaller PDF/iWork

I helped someone with this question and it took a few tries for me to find the answer. Here's the question:

"How do I create a smaller pdf from iWork. When I try I get 12MB files and I used to know a way to shrink them down without much noticeable decrease in screen resolution".

I managed to find the answer and here it is for the curious:

1. From within Pages or any other application you're creating a PDF from, click on "Print" in the File pull-down menu.
2. In the Print dialog box, click on the third pull-down menu box ("Copies and Pages"). Select "ColorSync" from the pull-down menu.
3. Click on the "Quartz Filter" button and select "Reduce File Size."
4. Click "Save as PDF"
