Sheet-fed scanner for most stuff, he does use a hand-scanner
for bound stuff. Like Eric, I'm pretty sure he does most pages
as 600dpi line art. I just got doing the same for a section of
a CDC manual that's in hot demand; then used Kodak Imaging
to create a multi-page TIF from the individual TIF pages. Then
print to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 4.05's PDF Writer. Yields a
367kb PDF, whereas multipage TIF was 2.1MB.
Then your TIFFs weren't compressed with the Group 4 2D algorithm, which
is the best around, until we've all got JBIG tools. Either that, or PDF
Writer reduced the resolution during conversion.
