What format should my images be in when scanning documents: JPEG or PDF?

If I have a manuscript digitized in both high and low resolution, is PDF-A applicable as well?

Thank you Mr. Boulay for your prompt replies. Your instructions are clear and I appreciate your support.

I have one last question regarding OCR: When I apply OCR to a PDF/A file that contains both images and text, the images lose quality and do not retain their resolution. I need to find a solution for two scenarios: existing PDFs and new documents that I want to scan. How can I perform OCR while preserving a high resolution for the photos?

Create from scratch? From an existing file? If so, in which format is it currently, etc.?

Generally speaking, any PDF format will do, but you can use PDF/A for archiving purposes.

TRY67 I am currently dealing with multiple cases. For the first case, I am scanning monographs from scratch. In the second case, I have received a collection of PDFs. The third case involves PDF files that are already part of my collection, which have been scanned at 300 DPI.
