Here's a question for you guys:

I scanned an 8.5x11 document and exported it to Acrobat 5.0. How do I go about reducing the file size of this thing? It's currently at 2MB right now. I kinda need it to be as small as possible. It's all just txt in grayscale, no color images or graphics or anything.

thanks.

Do you have "File->Reduce File Size" option? I've upgraded to version 6 so can't really remember if version 5 has it. If you don't have it, scan the document using a lower dpi & more jpeg compression before exporting it Acrobat.
