We are having trouble getting what we think should be sensible file sizes for scanned documents in pdf format. A complete 20 page document scanned direct into pdf at 200dpi was 40Mb or more, but if the pages were done separately and then combined the size was about 650k! Scanning to bitmap and then converting in Acrobat Writer gives larger sizes.

Can anyone advise or point to guidelines on getting optimum filesizes versus image quality for various purposes. We are concerned largely with scanning same size (copyright cleared!)journal articles, book chapters and similar types of document for users to view or download from our Web site.
