I played around a bit with PDF...I think it's better than making 30 posts. Maybe a sample pic and explanation and also the full set of pages in a zipped PDF file?
Will try this. I was getting little to no compression packing them in a zip file after I reduced the size by the scanner settings. Page 1-5 approx. 1Meg.
I found that 750 X 1031 seems to be a good size. I think aegt5000 tried pdf but unless it was a small file he couldn't download it w/o splitting it up. I think it wound up being about the same or maybe easier to just post each page.
It takes awhile. The tubeframe repair manual I posted was about 100 pages, one at a time!:dazed:
PDF came out good, Mark. I tried to make a pdf of some Bolens brochures that sixchows posted and it came out HUGE so I couldn't attach it. Collectively the images weren't that big, but for some reason when I put them in a pdf it resulted in a lot bigger file than I expected.
Six...
I hear you on the time. 6 minutes to upload and about 4 to download and check it on my connection. I like the zoom and multi-page ability of a pdf. But still needs split either way. This one is 30 pages and shows 6Meg total in pdf with my current settings.
I'll mark down those size settings.
I suppose there are some folks that don't have Adobe to view them. I guess it's still free on the older versions though.
Mow,
I have a Jacobsen owners manual with parts list for my old rider and it is 26Meg. I tried making it a zip file but it still only compressed 5%. My computer takes 10's of minutes converting the images to pdf after being scanned. I actually think posting individual pages as jpgs would be a little faster for me. Might save a bit more using black and white.
I really like the idea of PDF files. Down load once to your HD and always have the whole thing in order rather than having to create a folder, down loading each and every page...IMO.
As they say...your mileage may vary.
Thanks, Verizon pulled through early. It's great.:thumbsup:
