[PLUG] A Scanning Question

   Because I'm so new at this stuff I'm surprised that file sizes are so
large. I just scanned a four-page brochure directly into PDF files (then used
pdftk to concatenate them into a single file). At 200 dpi, the assembled,
4-page file is 33+M in size -- in color.

   Is this because the background of each page is colored? That seems quite
large to me, but perhaps it's not.
