[ILL-L] converting e-journal articles

[aslill, aslill (EED sponsored)]

Ah, a topic I was thinking on just this morning! We convert pdf files to tif files for Ariel by using Print and selecting Microsoft Office Document Image Writer as the "printer". We set the resolution to Super Fine in Properties. HOWEVER, I do notice a loss of sharpness when we do this. I was thinking, just this morning, that it might be better to print and rescan to retain the sharpness (our scanner does a very nice job of it), especially if there are pictures or charts involved. Yes, it makes more paper, but I don't like sending out second quality stuff. 
 
Cordially,

 I know that most of you are converting e-journal articles instead of printing and scanning.  We are too, using a very long process called:  Informatik pdf Complete

 

I am interested in what other processes there are that may be faster/simpler.

 

Thanks in advance,
