Insert object pdf into layout.

I use a lot of pdf files that are scanned from documents and overlay fields over them so the form is the same form. Often the pdf is very jagged when printed or viewed in layout mode. It's like they loose resolution between the orginal and insert the object step.

Do you have a good standard that you use for pdf files when you insert them into your layouts?

I scanned one form in grayscale this last week and it came out clear but the size is slowing the database down.

Thanks for any tips you might have.
