I have a new Dell Inspirion and a Dell All-in-one 968 Printer. When I scan documents into a PDF file, they scan fine. The problem is that a one-page Word Document becomes a 1 MB PDF document. This seems way too big for a simple 1 page document.

Why is this happening? I am using a 300 DPI setting. If I go any lower, then the quality is horrible.

I called Dell and they told me that there is nothing I can do. Is that true? Am I just stuck with huge PDF files, that prior to Vista weren't so big.
