>>Someone recommended JPEG2000, but it is my understanding that this is
used for photo's or GIS type documents. We have been storing the
documents as TIF's and want to continue storing them this way.  Any
solutions?<<

If you scan JPEG 2000 is one option, we use DjVu.  File sizes that are
unusable in PDF or TIF are reduced to a fraction of their original size.
A couple of examples include a 2 page document scanned in 24 bit color.
PDF is 7.6 MB, TIF is 1.5 MB, DjVu is 44 K.  Large format drawings and
photographs provide similar results.  Documents up to a GB in size are
reduced to under 1 MB.  Couple the storage savings with the improvements
in viewing and you have an unbeatable combination.
