Jim--

I'm not sure from your message if you tried reducing the DPI/Dots Per
Inch. If your scan was at 600 dpi, try reducing to 300 or even 150 dpi.
You have to balance the reduction in size against readability-- fewer
dots means fuzzier text; any logos won't be as crisp as the originals.

Subject: color overlay object size

I am having trouble getting a color overlay size so that when the
spooled file converted to pdf & emailed the attach size is not too big.
It's an invoice form, and cust requires it be same as original invoice
in Red and Blue characters. Currently pdf approx 1.2 meg and some
customers get hundreds of these each month.
Orig scan is 5 meg jpeg, we used photoshop and got it down to 592kb, but
the resulting overlay is never less than 1 meg.
Using IBM Infoprint Color 130 AFP driver gray scale method =
Photographic dither Color option = full color - 32 bit Graphic options =
basic Compression = jpeg I've tried changing various parms but cannot
find a solution.
Any ideas?

Jim Franz
