Hi,

I have a Hp Photosmart 3210 all-in-one and use HP Scan Pro 6.2.5 (part
of HP Image Zone) for scanning. I use it on a iMac 1Ghz with MacOs
10.4.7.

When I scan a simple page of text, black and white, 150 dpi and save it
as .pdf, then I get a document of 740 KB.

How can I obtain a smaller file? 740 KB is exagerated, 50 KB would be
normal I guess.

Anyone who can help me on this?

thx in advance,
Hans

Scan as a 1 bit-depth TIFF and use Graphics Converter to convert if to
TIFF with CCITT compression.
