PhotoShop will also resize the scans and save them as PDF files. The individual pages of PDF files will need to be "Distilled" through a program such as Acrobat Distiller (the old way) to compile the pages into one PDF file of multiple pages. If I can help you, PM me.....Peace
I will have another try at copying them and see if I can get a cleaner copy as I do not feel like doing too much work ones each page to clean them up.
I have four scanners and I chose the easy way out. I will see if my dedicated Epsom scanner platen can take that size of paper, it is currently stored away and needs to be connected to my secondary computer.
I wonder how much we have spent on computers, my oldest is an original IBM PC with two floppy drives, complete with the correct screen and keyboard. I got it all second hand for less than $75 and it runs DOS 3.3, they cost a small fortune when they came out, it is built like a tank. I think I have had ten computers including the VIC 20, Commodore 64, 386 and a Dell pentium I got for my son. My son fixed computer problems at his public school as it took too long for the repair man to come from the School Board, he caught on before me.🙄 He still fixes my problems, PC or Mac.
