    Ken,

    We thought about this before but couldn't think of a way to stabilize
    the camera short of some sort of "scaffolding" to hold the camera.
    Also, I would think if the camera was focused on the center, the ends
    would be a bit "fuzzy" too. With the old version of OCR software I have
    (maybe I still have that?) I'm not sure it would work. Would think that
    would cut the size down more than say a jpg although a pdf might work
    well too without going through the OCR step. What are you using?

    Thanks.
