> We are in the pilot project process for our new ECM software using
> HP-TRIM.  We began scanning documents early last month and now have over
> 2500 documents in the system.  We are scanning at 300 dpi, which I
> believe is the industry standard for quality and OCR readability.  We
> OCR all documents and save scanned images as PDF/A.  Unfortunately, we
> are getting some very large file sizes.  A personnel file with 230 pgs -
> mixed color (10 pages), grayscale, (6 pages) and B/W has a file size of
> 346MG. We have several of these.   A board resolution scanned with 2
> pages B&W and one page color has 382KB. My question is:   Have others
> experienced this and what have you done?   The large file size impacts
> performance of the software with very slow retrieval speeds. I don't
> feel my customers will be very happy with the slow retrieval times.  I
> vaguely remember something about using the "reduce file size" feature
> for PDFs.  Does anyone routinely do this for all docs?  How much has it
> decreased the size of the file, i.e. has it helped?  How does it affect
> quality and clarity of image? Does it work the same for PDF/A?  Are the
> file sizes for PDF/A differ than PDF? Thanks for your valuable input and
> experiences!
