Out of curiosity, is there a reason you do not use
Acrobat for
creating pdfs?
Primarily because I have not purchased a license for Acrobat. Also, when I
started scanning manuals ten years ago, Al Kossow recommended tumble, which
worked well. And with source available, I've been able to extend it to
give me finer control over some aspects of PDF production.

Over compress? The normal, and only really valid, practice with black & white
documents is lossless compression, where that term has no meaning.
There are those who don't understand that JPEG is intrinsically unfit for bitonal
material and line graphics of any kind. If you're dealing with the output of such,
then you may indeed have "overcompressed" material. But I believe the people
here all know better
