Inconsistent scanning? Document/photo

Question

I use adobe scan to make digital records of maintenance logbooks. One person on my team recently recoded logbooks; some of the pages were scanned as black and white document scans and others in the same document as photos. He has multiple documents that flip back and forth.

Need some help:

1. The files are huge. I need to convert all pages to dicment black and white (not grayscale) style scans to reduce file size. How?

2. where is there a setting that I can lock to keep on document black and white (not greyscale) scans to keep file size under control?

3. any tips on reducing file size in general. I have used all the native tools.

thanks.

Hi @Lisa305993956kmr,

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for reaching out!

When you are done with the scanning, you can enable the toggle button on the modifying page. "Apply to all pages."

This should apply the Black and White filter to the scans. Also, if you already have the document saved and want to change the filters or colors, you can use the "Modify Scan" option to make the edits (the workflow then remains the same).

Hope this helps.
