With all due respect, try scanning the 4 point type on the side of a
pharmaceutical package at 300 ppi and then OCR it.

An 8x10 1 bit TIFF at 300 ppi is 320k

An 8x10 1 bit TIFF at 600 ppi is 860k - I guess I don�t see any big deal
with the file size being an issue.

I will stick with recommending 600 ppi for more successful OCR.

(I forget what this has to do with PDF)
