A couple of questions.

1)  I have Apple II cards I'd like to scan and I have taken pictures
with a digital camera which didn't give me the detail I'd like.  Does
a flat bed scanner harm cards in any way with the light running
across?  I realize with EPROMs I need to cover them up before
scanning.

2)  I have some manuals I'd like to scan.  I was thinking 300DPI
resolution would be good.  Can anyone recommend some good software
(Acrobat is very highly priced), maybe open-source, to assembly the
images into a PDF?

Thanks
Rick
