.PDF



Dear List:

Having followed the current discussion on microfilm scanning, it brings up a
point that I'm currently working on. I'm curious what some other opinions
are about scanning into PDF for web accessibility. I'm currently scanning
text documents for preservation in TIFF, but would like to provide on-line
accessibility to documents to complement our Inmagic abstract search. It
seems to me that PDF is a great option--small file size, limited formatting,
printability, etc.  I'm wondering if others are considering, or are already
doing this.

Neil
