Lotas Smartman, thanks for the suggestion. I will take a look at PDF Shrink. I scanned 25 pages of a document yesterday using VueScan, saved the pages to PDF from the Print box, and put them together into one PDF file using Acrobat 5.0.5. The result was a whopping 43.5 MB PDF file! I hope that I can try PDF Shrink before having to pay. Cheers. ---John.
