Dear Mr. Young,

    From your message I can't tell how you process the document.  But I
would like to share my experience with you: If most part of document or
the whole document is scanned and converted to image, the file size will
be huge.  To reduce the image portions you have to correct the yellow
hightlighted parts after scanning and before saving the .ACD files to
..PDF. 

Please ignore this message if this what you have done.

Thanks.
