This question goes to the string about PDF files.  I have Acrobat, just
recently purchased.  I have scanned a few docs and saved them as optimized
pdf files.

I was wondering if its normal that these documents are a bit huge?  My
concern is that I don't want to turn off visitors to my site who go to the
pdf files and they take a bit of time to open.

You can check out one of these docs at
