A PDF does not compress very well, so "zipping" the file will usually help
very little.  I would suggest you FTP the file to a file server and send the
link to your associates.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: NVC-Friday-Scanning and compression software Advice?

I scan alot of documents through my Lexmark scanner using their software to
create PDF docs and store them, but they are sometime quite large(20-40MB).
Besides WinZip...does anyone have any ideas how I can scan these and
compress them for emailing?  I tried to email a 28MB file to a Gmail account
and was denied due to size.  I work remotely from home and sometime
outsource some of this work and emailing and saving these files in a smaller
format would help alot, especially during archiving to DVD, etc.  I have
tried Irfanview software per a suggestion form another listmember, but file
size is still too large.  Thanks for any recommendations.
P.S.  I recently tried Adobe Online but have not worked out the quirks, so
not sure it will work.
Running Windows 7 Home 64-bit.
Happy trails.
