		<td><p>PDF</p></td>
		<td><p>A PDF can contain multiple pages, like a book, and is easy to distribute. Only a small number
		of linux programs can modify PDF documents, so this format is recommended primarily for archiving.
        The size of the PDF document is affected by the <link xref="quality">image quality</link>.

		<td><p>JPEG</p></td>
		<td><p>JPEG is the file format used by digital cameras to save pictures. A JPEG file is relatively
		small, very easy to distribute, and suitable for uploading to social networking sites. Most operating
		systems come with a JPEG editor by default. If you have scanned multiple pages, a JPEG file will be
		created for each page. Use this file type if you want to modify or upload the scanned images.
        The size of the JPEG file is affected by the <link xref="quality">image quality</link>.
