As others have noted, your ability to do so depends on the specifics of
your file, which you haven't shared.
You could use ghostscript to reduce quality (resolution) and size:

You can also try removing embedded fonts. Examples are included here:

All of ghostscripts options are documenTed here:

Finally, you could build pdfsizeopt. There isn't a fedora package, as
far as I can tell:
