If you are saving your PDF with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities", you are essentially packaging your Illustrator working file(s) along with the PDF whuch can make the file huge. Your printer does not need this (unless they have specifically asked for it), so make sure whatever PDF Exports settings you are using that that checkbox is unchecked.

Also: If you are sending to a printer, you DO NOT WANT to save your file "small".
