You could use the beginForm/endForm/doForm methods when you have
some repetitive things to do.

Also if some images appear several times, use drawImage instead
of drawInlineImage.

These are two ways to save possibly very very huge disk space without
reducing the quality.

If you don't have repetitive things on your document, then I don't know
