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
