The only downside is the fact that the scans will all be images of the pages and not searchable. The compression used is LZW Tiffs embedded in the PDF file format, so you may be able to copress the files yourself first then convert them to PDF. But that would take longer, if I remember the equipment it should take at most around 1-2 hours if the gur running the machine dosnt know what he is doing.From there Adobe has a utility called ISI Copy which if I read correctly will OCR the text for you. Dont ask me fr any details, I just saw it on their website a couple of days ago.Or if you have a really good OCR program you can input the Tiffs into that to output straight text with any graphs and pics scanned separately.Either way there is a bunch of work ahead of you.</blockquote>
