Hi,
When documents are scanned, using a "bulk" scanner,
the result is either a bunch of tifs or pngs.
Those image formats are percieved as being "future developments safe".
But, for some types of documents, I could follow another route, programmatically,
and end up with 1 large pdf. The size of the pdf being considerably smaller than
individual images. (Server space is at a premium)
The question is : do we think that the pdf format is as "future-safe", compared to all the
pages saved as tifs or png's?
Any opinions ?
thx,
Paul
