I had two 100 plus page PDF books exported from Publisher that are mostly black text.  I have a placed PDF on every page (they are all text heavy PDFs not images). One was 40MB and the other was 3MB. this is a problem for KDP as the file size determines distribution costs. 

The master page layer order was the cause of the large file size. The file with the master pages on top were much larger when exported - I assume it was rendering them as images. I don't know if it was master pages layered above the placed PDF or if this could be an issue for master pages above any other layers. Hope this helps someone. 

Look at your master page layer order if you are struggling to reduce the file size of your exported PDF. Pages are rendering faster inside the app also and faster export.
