If you are scanning texts into Acrobat, it's good practice to take the following steps before sharing them so that the file size will be smaller and the document easier to download and print: 

1. Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR (this recognizes the text and reduces the file size a lot)

2. Document > Reduce File Size, then choose Acrobat 7.0 (this is the backwards-compatibility issue mentioned above)
