I am all new to this. I have a desktop scanner (Snapscan) and I want to use that for the time being. I want to scan some of my documents/ books / written research notes for my postgraduate research. I would like to know what DPI do I set the scanner at and if I use JPG or TIFF. The texts will be showing some ancient greek fonts in them. So 300 or 600 DPI? And again I dont want the final PDF to be enormously huge. I will be using Scantailor to convert the images to the final PDF and I have watched the youtube video on Scantailor a few times so I should be okay with that... well lets hope so...
and also I was hoping that someone has a prepared "How-to" guide for all this so I know what I am doing properly... Many thanks in advance.
