Hello

I advise you the Plustek Opticbook 3600 for the scanner and Finereader Pro 10 for the software.
Probably it will get you (quite?) above your budge.

The Opticbook comes with an old version of Finereader that some find enough or that can help you get version 10 as an upgrade cheaper…

Ha… and not having much work done and small PDF files… forget it… even with Finereader sometimes intense proofreading is necessary to get a good, small size pdf.
A half/half solution is to do OCR on the scanned images and save as a PDF, image on top and ocred text under and skip the proof reading part…
Still, even with good compression on the final pdf, expect big files.

One more tip… check this forum because you get lots of posts with similar doubts as yours.

Best regards,
