Well, like I said, I want the system to be more user-friendly, and I
consider PDFs to be more user-friendly than TIFFs, since the plug-in sits in
the browser and the user experience is seamless. However, if they needed to
gunzip the files, the whole thing would be rather pointless, since they
would again need to do an extra step to view the scans.

But anyway, I found a tool to do exactly what I need (c42pdf, found on
www.pdfzone.com), thanks to Jens Kisters.


Thanks to everyone who replied!
