Make a scan smaller in a scanned thesis

A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. Scans are big. Shrink the file for email or upload limits.

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.
