We had a discussion recently about the advantages of .pdf files for document imaging. So I changed my scanning solution to work with .pdf files.
Today I am putting this to the test in a production environment. But I am unhappy with the .pdf format. It seems to be HUGE! I am using the software that came with my hp scanjet 4400c. When I scan a single page, it tells me that the B&W image has a file size of 115k. I then specify to save as .pdf file. The size of the .pdf file is the found on the disk to be 3,201 kb! What kind of overhead problem am I dealing with? Are there different levels of compression withing the .pdf? Would a different scan-to-pdf program be more effecient? Can anyone else give me data on their resulting pdf file sizes? Thanks Kevin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
