PDF not reducing in size

I'm trying to optimize a 700 MB PDF file with many embedded raster images.  The image quality degrades, which is acceptable, but the file size isn't getting any smaller no matter what I do.  I even lowered the compression setting to 20 dpi, which looks awful, yet the file size remains exactly the same after re-saving.  Any ideas?

Try using Audit Space Usage before and after compressing. It may point at an issue (or not).

Thanks!  Not sure what I'm looking at there, other than that 94% is document overhead.  What kind of issue would be correctible?

Document overhead isn't usually reducible. Shows the images weren't much of the file. But what can you tell us about how the file was made? Please name all the apps involved. Maybe there is an alternative way.
