What is the best way to scan text/image documents at best quality to PDF. File sizes should be kept at a minimum but not sacrificing quality. They will need to be reprinted in the future. OCR is not needed.
We just got this new Canon color copier at work, equipped with an 'automatic document feeder' (ADF) on top. We networked it to the PC so it can scan from the ADF to file (PDF). I have many thousands of sheets to scan to file for archiving. Many are poor quality text and images (but it works for what we do).
Anyway, I tried using Adobe Acrobat 6 to scan at 300dpi in Grayscale but the text is very fuzzy, even on the computer screen. Scanning at 400 or 600dpi makes file sizes very large and scanning very slow so I'm trying to avoid it. Is there anything I'm missing here?
Is there better software than Acrobat 6 for scanning thousands of documents to PDF?
