That is easy to say, but it depends a great deal on what sort of scan it is. For B&W scans, LZW seems to be the best, but some people prefer the fax type G3 or G4 compression. For colour or greyscale, use JPG or PNG.
I suppose that would make more sense if the lossless PNM scan wasn't a megabyte smaller than the gscan2pdf PDF, or if I had passed exotic command-line arguments to the command-line convert tools.
For the record, these were all 300-dpi scans in color, although the source was just a black-and-white form. (Greyscale seems to have a different bug not related to gscan2pdf, which makes it unusable.)
What happens if you have several pages with different types of scan?
Dunno; will try this later, as well as a few other things.
But DjVu beats PDF hands down on file size.
True, but PDF is more readily available, unfortunately. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
