My PDF file size- What determines it?

What determines the Size of a PDF file, when you produce it using Office.org or other PDF programs?

the amount of pages in the PDF?

or the amount of pictures/jpegs in the file?

the size of the Jpeg pictures in the PDF ?

other things?

+ If i wanted to have 3 pdfs made, All being 6 pages in length...... how can i make sure that they are different file sizes? - i want 3 PDFs of equal pages made, but their file sizes to be different.

All of the above and the template you use.

The actual number of pages isn't that big of a deal if they are text only. It's the pics that add up.
