That is a classic! The number of times my SO scanned black & white documents in colour and 400 dpi then (from Windows) then ended up with a gigantic PDF file that email would reject (or, worse, recipient's email would reject)... Then she calls me. Typically I batch downsize and convert to gray, then create a smaller PDF from these downsized/gray'ed scans. I'll definitely take notes from that blog and from this HN thread for I'm sure some will come in handy.
