[Hidden-tech] Trouble compressing a PDF using WinRAR

[Rich]

You've not actually said what the original image is of - nor how it was 
scanned.

When we can scan, if it's mainly text, it can be scanned as a image or 
as editiable text -- the size (and usefulness) is quite different.
as will the ability to compress it.  If the image put into the pdf, is 
already a format like jpg - it will already be about as compressed
as it can get.
