apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:
  Installed: 7.0.1-0.2
  Candidate: 7.0.1-0.2

I tried auto compression too, and it gives me the pdf which has the same
byte size as I get with JPEG and Max quality. I haven't done any
resampling yet. Don't have kpdf (KDE not installed) but will try in xpdf
and see if there is any difference.

Thanks,
