I've been using Acrobat 5.0. My preference is: Image Type: Line Art Destination: OCR Resolution: 300 DPI If you want a smaller file size then maybe 200 dpi. I think 300 gives you a pretty good reproduction of the original and isn't that much bigger. You definitely do not want to select "Black and White Photo" as an option. That's when things get mega-huge.

Does it do a better job of capturing pages than 4.0? The reason I ask is I was looking at the amount of storage used, so far, on the FTP site, and had recently received a rather small PDF that was scanned manual for the Arium ML4100 (it's up there) that was only 260K in size, whereas my scans were coming in the multimeg size.... So I played with a recent file that Kev put up today - the 80188PODGS manual, and Kev's version was 1.2megs, whereas the Captured manual was only 56K. Slight space advantage... John :-#)#
