When we scan stuff at SMECC
it is saved in the following 3 formats for each item scanned.
PDF with ocr background
TIFF
JPEG
and if containing a lot of text a TXT file as well.
Kind of a shotgun approach... but should stand test of time?
Only if you're publishing it somewhere and many people are mirroring it.

Often the source material is a multipage TIFF
from the scanner or other
processing step.
Multiple single-page TIFFs, in my case.
So relevant tools are things like tiff2pdf
(tiffutils)
But also JPEG's, for pages where the B+W scanning I use (with fax
compression
to keep the file size down) results in pages that aren't readable - this
happens on faded pages. Does tiff2pdf handle a bunch of single-page
TIFF's, with a JPEG or two throw in?
