Hi Rebecca

Yes, I'm using Acrobat 7.0 -- it came with my Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner (an
incredibly useful scanner, by the way). And yes, the file sizes are correct
because I sent them to myself by e-mail (I couldn't find your e-mail address
-- if you give it to me and I'll send you one with a lot of color pictures
[the whole book was scanned in color] , but please remember it was scanned
for my personal use -- I want to avoid copyright entanglements). Did I
stumble upon a method to save an enormous amount of disk space? Like you I
am still very dubious -- it's too good to be true. Such compression is
absolutely impossible, as you said, and maybe you will be able to find out
what's really going on. The original PDF was 154 megabytes, and the
resulting MS doc file is about 170 kbs. As you implied, such radical
compression would be insane. Please see if you can get to the bottom of this.

My email address should show up even in this MSFT web thingy (CDO)
you're using to access this group: robert.franz (at) mvps.org

I'm really curious now to see what you'll send me! :-) And have no fear,
I won't send this document elsewhere without your approval.

Greetinx
Robert
