PDF recommendation

Could Visual Vision offer a recommendation for a .pdf making program that could compress the files to minimum size to insert into 1st Site?
I have for example, a project that would encompass 1,600 .pdf scanned files. Does 1st Site compress these files? If yes, then problem solved.
If you no, then perhaps a .pdf program that can compress or add several pages together...? Keeping the file size to a small minimal amount. That would be cool!

Why not to ZIP it?
By the way, if they are B/W scanned pages, the smallest format is PCX (the one used for FAX transmission). If gray, JPEG. Creating a PDF can only increase the global size. PDF is nice for computer-generated documents.

Support,
I'm basically open to anything. Whichever is least expensive (don't want to pay $1k for an Adobe program!) and most user friendly.
If it can work with my scanner then, hey! let's go for it! 
If .pdf (which i can already do) can be zipped and uploaded to my server and still be linked from within 1stSite, then that sounds like a easy and quick venue. What i find hard to understand is how that is possible? If it's in your FAQ then i'll simply look it up.

To ZIP a PDF, if you have XP, right click the PDF file within the MSWindows File Explorer, then choose
Send to >Compressed folder
a "compressed folder" for Windows XP is identical to a ZIP file.
Another way is to use WinZip.
Then, when you have the ZIP, to link it, "Insert >Link" then 4th tab and you choose the ZIP file from the hard disk.
By the way, I am pretty sure your scanner can save in several formats, not just PDF. Actually I use a graphic software to get images from the scanner, and then I choose the save format, depending on what I need. Usually image formats supports one page only, but there is to say one the TIF or TIFF format, that supports multi page documents.
However this is not so pertaining to EWE / 1SITE support....................... maybe somebody else can help you....
Service information - today we are moving / replicating this forum to:
www.easywebeditor.com/forum/
this is because paperinik.com seems a bit slow. Maybe we will find another way to increase speed but meantime we're trying to direct the traffic there.......
