Actually, a PDF is alittle more involved that just a ps file. It's
possible to include a fulltext segment that can automatically be index
via some web search engines, and have it all go along for the ride. As
for the compression, it's kinda lousy atleast on standard 150 dpi scans
of B&W text. A standard G4 tiff is 25% smaller than the pdf - I guess it
just depends on what you need.
