How about the Paper Port (*.max) format? The files are quite small
in 2 bit B&W, and there is a free stand alone viewer. You can see a few
scans and the get the viewer at:

Interesting product, but, like it or not, pf is the industry
standard. You can tell that by what Scan Soft say in their ad for
Paper Port Pro 10 at http://www.scansoft.com/paperport/
I can't really justify the expense of Adobe Acrobat and Paper Port 10
both since all the operating expenses for BAMA come out of my pocket.
Saving space used to be a major constraint on BAMA, but storage space
is now very cheap. Of course, I still try to reduce the size of pf
files as much as possible realizing that there are many folks who are
stuck with dial-up connections to the Internet.
