RE: Compressing/Page Capturing PDFs

I've been using Acrobat 5.0.

My preference is:

Image Type: Line Art
Destination: OCR
Resolution: 300 DPI

If you want a smaller file size then maybe 200 dpi. I think 300 gives you a
pretty good reproduction of the original and isn't that much bigger.

You definitely do not want to select "Black and White Photo" as an option.
That's when things get mega-huge.

Subject: Compressing/Page Capturing PDFs

Anyone here play with Adobe 5.0? Does it do a better job of capturing pages
than 4.0?

The reason I ask is I was looking at the amount of storage used, so far, on
the FTP site, and had recently received a rather small PDF that was scanned
manual for the Arium ML4100 (it's up there) that was only 260K in size,
whereas my scans were coming in the multimeg size.... So I played with a
recent file that Kev put up today - the 80188PODGS manual, and Kev's
version was 1.2megs, whereas the Captured manual was only 56K. Slight space
advantage...
