    Please do not waste any time making new PDF documents,
 Please don't waste any time complaining about PDF documents.  In
 many cases, you're lucky to get the data in any form at all.  You do not get my
point: Instead of adding an extra step to make PDF
 files, I think it is better to keep the raw scans. 
I'm entirely with you.  But that said, I'd rather have a PDF than
nothing at all, and it seems many of the people scanning stuff are
unwilling to do anything else. :-?

  PNG is a nice, open and flexible format which is
designed to be the

pgm, ppm).  (I can hardly imagine writing png-format image software
without using a library.  I routinely do so with p?m formats.)
