We have been scanning documents for the past 3 years as TIFFs, but
because of an issue of OCRing a document with color and B&W pages we are
now considering scanning to PDF.  What is the conventional wisdom on
TIFF vs PDFs?  Is one more stable, better resolution, better at
migrating to newer releases, etc.  I have heard mixed reviews with no
clear "winner" on which is the preferred format.  Your advice is most
appreciated!  Thanks to all of you who responded to "how far is far
enough" too!
