Stick a USB into the scanner and > press the scan button. My HP Envy 4520 has no such button. There is an option for scanning to the computer, but software is required on the computer to do that and HPLIP does not provide it. Anyway, I managed to persuade the device to give me the PDF it would have sent to a USB stick if the facility had existed (the device has Apple's AirScan). If it matters, the PDF does not have any Creator or Publisher information and doesn't contain any embedded or subset fonts. Scanned at a resolution of 600: brian@desktop:~$ pdfimages -list out.pdf page num type width height color comp bpc enc interp object ID x-ppi y-ppi size ratio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 0 image 5100 6600 gray 1 8 jpeg no 1 0 600 600 2090K 6.4% ps2pdf reduces the 2090K by about 50% to 1051K. A different scanner device and source document, of course, and maybe different methods of PDF production, so I wouldn't read too much into this. BTW (for completeness), what machine was scanned_in_office.pdf produced on? -- Brian.
