Having download the scans ( overnight ) I have
found that jpeg
or any picture file is just too big for viewing or more important
printing. PDF is the best way to send files. One option is print them
from the scanner as postscript files then use ps2pdf to convert them
to pdf. ps2pdf is part of ghostscript I think.
Actually, these jpegs are great. I wish more scanned documents were made
available in this format. Once I have my equipment set back up, I'll set
about processing them with OCR software. The author's block printing
should OCR well since his handwriting is very good. Once I have them OCR'd
I'll work on converting them to postscript.
