Re: hwg-basics-digest V1 #788

HI,

I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 4.0(PC) over the
weekend and have spent all afternoon trying to scan in
a 5 page document using the Import>Scan feature. 
There's a little bit of color artwork and some shaded
text boxes, but I'd say that about 80% is just plain
black text on a white letter-size paper.  

This file is coming out HUGE!  I'm getting 103MB when
I scan it as 300dpi color.  I've experimented with
greyscale and reducing the dpi, but it's still coming
out to be over 1MB per page. Anything less than 150dpi
becomes illegible because of the shaded text boxes. 
When I save it, I do make sure that the "optimized"
checked.

I've looked through the help guide and www.pdfzone.com
and the Adobe site.  So far I haven't seen much
useful. I've made lots of PDFs with Acrobat 3 and
never had this kind of trouble.  Does anyone know how
to slim this puppy down?

Please cc me off-list, as I'm on digest.

Best Wishes,

=====
