This would probably be better on -discuss than -dev


&gt;<i> I have an HP J5780 All-in-One device - and use the HP Device Manager
</I>&gt;<i> software under Mageia -  When I scan a document into a PDF, the
</I>&gt;<i> converted document is rather large (5MB) in comparison to the same
</I>&gt;<i> document scanned under Windows 7 and the HP scan-to-PDF feature (465Kb)
</I>&gt;<i> -  Just wanted to know why is this and can I influence how compressed or
</I>&gt;<i> compact the PDF document is under Cauldron?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
Do you scan at the same resolution?
The best compression would be to use OCR to get text instead of images but
I wouldn't trust it to be accurate

I used to scan with &quot;Acquire Images&quot; or XSane and then paste the scanned
&gt;<i> graphic into a LibreOffice document and then create a PDF directly or
</I>&gt;<i> use ps2pdf14 to convert a &quot;print to file&quot; postscript output to PDF
</I>&gt;<i> (which results in a comparatively small PDF)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
Why not generating a PDF directly from XSane?
