I find that using the Distiller makes files much smaller than the PDF
Writer.

I also do "Save For Web" using PhotoShop on all of my (JPG)images.

        Try the new version of PDF Enhancer 
(http://www.apago.com/enhancer.html) which offers support for the 
JBIG2 compression algorithm which will reduce your scans 70-90% in 
size!

        I might, but then you also have to deal with manually 
checking all the OCR for correctness.
