I have another take on the .pdf's, and take some issue with Tom. I have

When I create PDFs from Adobe InDesign, one of the choices is to embed
the fonts. I think that Apple's Print to PDF embeds fonts by default.

PDF is a vector format derived from PostScript. If you had the original
document file, not a scan, then saving it into PDF would be a good
idea.
The PDF would contain the font information, the text (coded as ASCII or
UTF), and geometry infomation about how the text is positioned on the
page.
Of course, now that Adobe has opened up the pdf format, this may
change. But for now, it's just not an editing format.
I agree that PDF is not an editing format. But it was never really
intended to be, it was intended to be a fixed presentation format.
Also, while it is only recently that PDF

It's a good, compact and portable format that most people know what to do

even fewer know what to do with it.

OS X's print to PDF feature is great, by the way. I use it regularly
when sending documents that the recipient doesn't need to edit
because that way I don't have to worry whether or not they can
read it. Leopard gained the ability for PDF's to have working
hyperlinks, at least for PDF's

Yeah, I got the PDF add-on for my older Office distribution at

I'm with Jeff on this. It may not be the most efficient method, but
my scanner creates a jpeg which I print to a pdf doc. I then attach
that to an email message.
For the print/conversion from jpeg to pdf, I use PDFCreator

That's right, but from that point you veer into wrongness.
A scanned image is a bunch of pixels, a raster image. The basic file
format for this is TIFF. You can compress the TIFF with something

Oh, and generally, you don't want to use jpeg unless photos are
involved. For text, .tif is best, especially if you use bw. .gif will
also work. Reason is, jpeg really sucks at text.

You can either rescan it at 72dpi or load it into an image
Your first mistake was in scanning to too high a resolution. You
probably had like 300dpi selected. Try 100dpi and the file will right
there be 1/3 the size. Also you may be able to scan to black and
white, if no color is required.
Lastly, you can just resize the image using any photo editor

I didn't because pdf is more of a _destination_ format than an editing
or archival format. Not a good comparison, but I would liken it to
scanning an important painting; you wouldn't save it as a jpg, because
you would know it may need editing later.
