If you are saying that you scan to a PDF then that is entirely appropriate if your intention is to produce a small file that a site's visitors will download and print. However, in case newcomers are reading, it should be pointed out that it is pretty pointless for an image to be displayed on a web page, where dpi is completely irrelevant. For screen display all that matters are pixels. For that purpose you scale to the desired width and height in pixels. Adjusting X or Y resolution (i.e. dpi) is meaningless.
