Comment on Paperless: Scan and index paper documentsparent

Consider archiving them as djvu (http://djvu.sourceforge.net/). One bit per pixel djvu files at 150PPI will likely become 2-5KB pages instead.

Djvu also supports a text layer just like PDF.

Note that 150PPI is barely better than FAX, so your documents will likely look 'faxed' if you ever have to output hardcopies for some reason.

Djvu is patented. As a result it is very possible that is will never achieve enough critical mass to be suitable for long term archiving.
