Actually I want to process each PDF completely, but I need to special case the first page as it has that header I don't want/need to keep. Given this it sounds worth trying the next time a magazine becomes available for download.
I also tried adding -bpc 1, which gets the size down to a much more comparable figure. Given these are B&W or at most greyscale image scans can I expect any particular problems with this approach? On occasion there are photo images or artwork in the magazine. Is there any special provision to treat those differently, perhaps doing them at a higher bpc and keeping the bpc as 1 for text areas?
Thanks again for your input on this.
