PDF is already "Portable Document Format", You can't reduce further.
In your case, it should be because of the font scripts.
From WIKI,
"Two PDF files that look similar on a computer screen may be of very different sizes. For example, a high resolution raster image takes more space than a low resolution one. Typically higher resolution is needed for printing documents than for displaying them on screen. Other things that may increase the size of a file is embedding full fonts, especially for Asiatic scripts, and storing text as graphics."
