The jpg file will only be a 100 kilobytes or so for a decent picture of the dictionary tables.

What do you think?
Well, you are most certainly just trolling, but here it goes anyway:

1 - I don't think are going to get a 100 KB picture of a 1 MB text unless you seriously compromise the image quality, which leads to
2 - You will have to pass the image through an OCR process to get the dictionary, and OCR is not always accurate (and heavily depends on the image quality)
3 - As I said before, it's not enough to preserve the dictionary alone. You have to keep the compressed file as well.
