Hello,

this is a traditionnal problem with scribus
and many solutions are provided :

First choose a low resolution for the PDF in the options for PDF output :
72 dpi is ok for screen display and will slitghtly reduce size.

Then use advanced technics described on
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Web_optimised_PDF
and

so as to get drastic weight enlightment.
