Processing PDFs to reduce file size / and or complexity

I have PDF files I need to prepare for viewing on mobile devices. The worse case would be ~50 pages, with lots full color images and vector art, file size approx. 40MB. This is acceptable for PC viewing on broadband, but not great for mobile viewing due to long download times and very laggy scrolling on mobile (At least on my overclocked Droid). Are there any tools or libraries for processing the files to simply the vector stuff, downsample/recompress the images, that sort of thing?

Output in pdf format is not absolutely essential, but it needs to be something readable on android and iOS devices without software downloads.

There are options in Acrobat to reduce image size and improve PDF filesize/speed. Have you looked this option?
