Make a scan smaller in a scanned project report from an office scanner
Scans are big. Shrink the file for email or upload limits. Even office scans give the font match plenty to work with. Very coarse scans can be refused when the redraw would not be faithful.

Scanning with an office scanner

- • Pages fed through the document feeder can come out slightly skewed.
What people change in a project report
- • Figures in tables
- • Status and dates
- • Wording of findings
- • Names in the distribution list
- • Page numbers and cover details
Questions people ask
+Why are scans so large?
Every page is a full picture, often in colour at high resolution.
+Do I need to convert the scan to Word first?
No. MythosPDF edits the scanned page itself. There is no conversion, so the page keeps its look.
