There is a bug report (more of a discussion) somewhere. The Gimp PDF internally is a ppm image. The developers not able to do anything about it at present.
Gimp PDF are just too big. Scan to a tiff and use
Code:
tiff2pdf -j -q 50 -o small.pdf scanned.tiffWhich embeds a jpeg image, quality setting -q Using colour magazine page: Makes a big difference, Gimp PDF = 16 MB / from tiff PDF = 1 MB
