Hi Billy,
I use Word-Perfect so when I scan a document I save it as a .wpd (Word Perfect Document.) I think Adobe Acrobat makes a .PDF file. I just did a quick test. I copied a 154kb PDF into a WPD and it saved at 47.4kb. I hope this helps.
With Love,

I have read that several individuals scan in their documents in order to conserve space and allow for better retrieval. I have been wanting to do something similar. In fact, it is almost imperative that I get many documents stand in the event I have to evacuate due to a catastrophic weather occurrence. The problem I am having is that each document which I scan is extremely large and difficult to store. For instance, I scanned in a very simple contract (two pages) and it took up 2MB worth of space. My question is does anyone know how to scan in a document so that it does not take up an inordinate amount of space. The primary reason I am asking is because I like to keep these documents on CDs for easy transportation in case of a disaster. FYI, I have been using Adobe Acrobat to scan in documents. I appreciate any feedback.
