I scanned in a manual for bitsavers and found that just going with the tif format, fax compress, etc resulted in an average page size that about 1/4 the size or less of jpg images. I scanned in black and white, and that was the thing I liked the least, but for technical documents which are mostly line drawings and text it is about the only way to keep an archive at a managable size. I scanned some pages of other manuals and books I have in black and white grey scale, and I could easily incorporate them into a pdf with an old copy of acrobat I have laying around, with a mix of tif and jpgs. Not what bitsavers prefers, but worked for me on my own documents. If Steve wants this document email me at jwstephens -at- msm -dot- umr -dot- edu and I'll email it. jim
