So I have a 15mb pdf.
I optimize all image at various downsampling sizes... Even at a very low level, where the images are all super pixelated. The file is still huge.
What gives!

I don't see an attachment, sorry.
Which program are you printing from? Are you setting the dpi in the tiff before placing the image into Indesign? If printing from a pdf, did you set Acrobat to save a 'press quality' pdf?
My workflow would be:
Set the dpi and dimensions of the tiff in Photoshop required for the intended output.
Place the .tiff in InDesign at 100% (although you could re-size, it is recommended to use 100%)
Create a .pdf using the 'press quality' options set to swop.- that would result in a very large PDF, especially with image quality and resolution pretty much maxed outmonospaced

When you export a PDF (InDesign & Illustrator) go to the Compression section and pic a downsampling that's better for screen. I like 72-100 ppi at High Image Quality, personally. Also make sure "Crop Image Data to Frames" is checked (default it is). If that's too big still, drop the image quality.

i have one that might fit in here. when i export my pdf from indesign(i have a 4 pg doc), the 2 and 3 pages appear on the same time onscreen, one next to the other. what do i have to do to make sure they appear separated one after the other?

image optimizing should work within acrobat.
if you're sure the downsample and compression settings are correct in Optimizer, go through the checklists and check off pretty much everything. may be some embedded data or hidden layer content that needs to be deleted.
