Hi Peggy, Do you have the option of saving the scanned documents as .eps files? If so, you can then distill the eps, ensuring that your job options are set up correctly thus resulting in an optimised pdf. I am assuming that you simply need to e-mail the resulting pdfs to colleagues for viewing/printing purposes only. I assume your co-worker is saving the files to a folder on the C drive? What he should also do is copy the files from the cd-rom onto his desktop or C drive instead of opening them directly from the cd. Also, check that the pdfs created are actually compatible with acrobat 5.05.
