How best to scan an out of print book for the web

New Here ,
Apr 28, 2022 Apr 28, 2022

I'm seeking to scan an out of print book for presentation via the web.  I don't anticipate a problem with copyright - we know the copyright holder. Scanning to pdf at 600 dpi using Canon's scan to pdf software produces 3Mb a page and there are 100 pages.  Can I scan and convert to text (which might require some editing and formatting) or do I have to produce "copies" of the pages by scanning to pdf - and if so how do I reduce file size whilst preserving clarity for readers?

 

Any helpful suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

You can't reduce the size with Acrobat Reader. It is possible with Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Thanks, Berndt, I'll take a look at that.
