Only a small number of linux programs can modify PDF documents, so this format is recommended primarily for archiving. See the <link href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pdf">PDF Wiki page</link> for more information. </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>JPEG</p></td> <td><p>JPEG is the file format used by digital cameras to save pictures. A JPEG file is relatively small, very easy to distribute, and suitable for uploading to social networking sites. Most operating systems come with a JPEG editor by default. If you have scanned multiple pages, a JPEG file will be created for each page. Use this file type if you want to modify or upload the scanned images. See the <link href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jpeg">JPEG Wiki page</link> for more information. </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>PNG</p></td> <td><p>PNG files contain the raw data from the scanner. This makes them very large and not suitable for distributing. If you have scanned multiple pages, a PNG file will be created for each page. See the <link href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics">PNG Wiki page</link> for more information. </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>TIFF</p></td> <td><p>TIFF files contain the raw data from the scanner. This makes them very large and not suitable for distributing. If you have scanned multipe pages, a TIFF file will be created for each page.
