Acrobat can subdivide documents (Document > Extract pages). But to e-mail you would have to subdivide into documents of one page - 55 documents. Even so, on a regular modem it could take about 12 hours connect time to send or receive these messages - if not more. So, I will return to my question. Knowing the scans were greyscale, if we assume they are 8.5 x 11 inches, a size of 2.2 mb per page is around 150 dpi if uncompressed. You need to do one of the following - scan at a lower resolution (e.g. 72 dpi is about a quarter of the size) - scan in black and white (an eighth of the size; you can do both) - use a method that compresses scans (scanning to Acrobat doesn't, because it doesn't expect you to save the scans, only run Paper Capture) - run Paper Capture - or, run a tool or method to recompress the files.
