About

SAS 9.1.3 and later releases support the COMPRESS= option, which reduces the size of the file. The highest level of compresion is COMPRESS=9. The default value is 6. See the SAS online documentation.

SAS 8.2 (and the experimental SAS 8.1) PDF driver does not support compression. If file size is an issue, you can try using the PDFMARK option together with Adobe Acrobat Distiller.
