Our office has a number of documents that are up to 10 pages long,
and we need to scan them and save them as pdfs. We want to make
these pdfs as small in file-size as possible, so that we don't
clog the email boxes of people we need to send these files to.
What are the most efficient settings to use when scanning with this
goal in mind? These pages are photocopies of abstracts from
scientific journals, so most pages are all text; a few have charts
or graphs.
We've tried scanning some pages at 72dpi but they're not readable
on screen. When we scan them at 100+ dpi the resulting pdf is
pretty large (a 7-page doc turned into a 2MB pdf, which seems
too big).
Meanwhile, someone sent us a 75pp document scan and the pdf
was only 1MB! Unfortunately they didn't create the pdf, so they
don't know why it has such a small file-size.
Any tips are appreciated.
