I never installed he acrobat because it seemed rather clunky and always popped up with error messages and other annoyances. How does this compare to using Abbyfine reader?

That ClearScan does look interesting though! Maybe I'll try to get my hands on Acrobat 9 and play around with it.

I personally OCR almost everything unless its something I absolutely positively know I will never need to search for.

Anyone else have any PDF optimization tips?

I set this up and OCR'ed a number of files, and was surprised at the file size increase. As an example, the first file went from 464k to 2.6m (almost 6x increase). Does this sound about right? If so, do you OCR everything? Any optimization tips? I was reading about Adobe's new ClearScan tech. available in Acrobat 9 which supposedly solves this issue.
