If you have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, you can scan documents, thereby
allowing you to save the image after scanning as a pdf.  Also, with
Adobe you have a lot more flexibility and the application is so robust
that you can adjust your dpi (normally black and white images require
300 dpi) but with color you can go lower in order to conserve file size.
Also the software application allows the user to decrease the size of a
file.  This package is great because you do not have to worry about
compromising the integrity of the documents.

I hope this helps you.

We have certain records (newsletters, for example) that contain color
pictures that we must image in color.  The pictures lose a lot of detail
if we image them on a black and white scanner.  We have a Canon DR-9080C
color scanner.  We save our black and white images in TIFF compressed,
but saving a color image in that format takes up a considerable amount
of space.  JPEG results in significantly smaller files but from what I
have been told is a lossy file type so that what you image and what you
save are not equal.  We can, however, choose a quality level of 80 or
higher to make the image less lossy.   We need to know which one of
these two options would be the best for us to use or are there other
options available to us?

Thanks to all of you who have responded to my requests recently.  I
appreciate the help very much.
