ReportViewer.LocalReport.Render - PDF filesize over 5 MB

I am testing the .Render method of a local report and can get to export to excel and pdf no problem. My xls file size is under 50 K for a small chart graphic report but every pdf generated tops 5 MB. Is this an issue that an be resolved or a bug in the ReportViewer?

Any solution to this problem? I've got a 10 page report that is less than 1MB in Excel and more than 40MB in PDF!|||

This sucks!

I found this post saying that this is a known problem:

I have a PDF that renders as 25MB. If you open it in acrobat and save a copy of it the copy is saved as 270KB. 95 times smaller!!!
