Hi We're creating pdf versions of engineering drawings for our released copy archive. Most are output to Acrobat from several CAD apps. Some of these are scanned hand-drawn vellums, tho. We scan the 11x17 B-size ourselves on an old Ricoh IS410 bed scanner inputting CFM-Twain at 300 dpi in scanmode halftone set to error diffusion. The resulting pdf files (single sheets) are coming out at 2 and 3 meg. Unacceptable with the number of files we have to store. Anybody know how to do this and get smaller files with a decent image? Also we're having our larger hand-drawn vellums done by an outside repro house and they're doing a tiff scan import that's generating filesizes of 300k to 400k. I'm used to seeing 40k or 50k come from our CAD programs. What can I tell the repro house to help get their file sizes down? Acrobat5.0 Thanks in advance for your help Bob Wilkinson Palomar Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 760 803-9490 To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfbasics.html
