Hi Lee,
Just a guess. But I'd say that the reason that your file sizes are so large
is because the document is being scanned and stored as an image rather than
text. The way you can tell is to try selecting the text.
If this is the case you could use Acrobat 6's OCR ("Paper Capture") function
to convert the document from image to text. This should reduce your file
size remarkably, providing you set "PDF Output Style: Formatted Text &
Graphics".

I have a new printer. It came with a way to scan paper docs & save in
pdf format. I have been wondering why the output file is so big & I
think I finally figured it out.
I got on Acrobat's website today after reading a msg here. Version 6 has
some kind of compression in it. Probably older versions do not. In a
msg here was a link to Acrobat's tip site which mentioned the new version
6 shrinks the file size.
Another website was mentioned here & I downloaded the pdf file which I
was surprised was over 5 megs in size & it was only 2 pages of text &
alittle graphics.
Personally I like CHM format as it is much smaller but have not found a
easy software to do what I want.
What experience & thoughts are there out there with these 2 formats? Has
anyone compaired size, quality etc of these 2 formats? No I don't work
for Microsoft. I am just a consumer who is interested in ebooks & a
better way to organize my files.
