Hi Darlene, i use trick thats worked for me when trying to scan a photocopy of an old newspaper article such as an old obit, that isnt legible as a photo file, ( .jpg )If your scanner / software will do it, ( i use HP Image Zone), scan the item as a grayscale document then "save as" a .pdf file.
Most times for me it comes out readable and you can also magnify it.
I will have to take a look tonight when I get home. I would like to put at least one of the little obits up here for folks to look at.
