Mathieu,

Have a look at this presentation for recommendations on Job Options
(p. 65 and on), especially for graphics settings:

(or http://tinyurl.com/bz2yg )

You might also consider Shlomo Perets's articles:

There are a number of things that can increase PDF file size.  Your 
content of mostly screenshot .pngs (which are generally small files) 
suggests that graphics may not be at fault in your situation.  For 
example, if you turn on Named Destinations for all paragraphs in FM's 
PDF setup, your PDF file size may become significantly larger.  That's 
where the suggestions by Art & Richard (optimizing, using Save As to the 
same name) can work to reduce bloat, by eliminating unused destination 
information.

HTH,
