Scanning docs

[Peter Snow]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the responses! Consensus of opinion indicates it is
between JPG, GIF and PDF.  
Unfortunately I don't have Acrobat so PDF is out (sorry Proteus).
I did a quick test of file sizes between GIF and JPG and a file that is
125Kb in JPG turns out to be 486Kb in GIF.
So as a trade off between quality, speed of transmission and Internet
compatibility, I guess it will be JPG...

Cheers,

Peter
