Best Scanner Settings for PDF files

[giz womack]

Hi All,

Our library is working on a online reserve project. The files on reserve
are scanned and stored as PDF files. My question is: Does anyone have
any thoughts on optimal scanner settings for scanning such files? What
is the best compromise of resolution versus file size. At 300 dpi it
looks great, but the file is enourmous. At 150-200 it is a much smaller
file, but the resolution is not ideal. Any thoughts, ideas?Tips, tricks?

Thanks,
