PDF Compression

SILVERFAST AI 6.5
I just tried Ai 6.5 and I don't see any way to compress the PDF that is produced. That is bad news as it is necessary to scan documents at a high resolution, 300 dpi or so, to be able to read the text with any clarity.
What I used to do is scan at 300 dpi, save as a tiff and save out of Photoshop as a PDF with a compression of 2. This makes a really nice small file and it is VERY legeble.
The other problem I see is I can't save a PDF out of Ai 6.5 in greyscale.
Please add this compression feature to a future version.
One more thing, those of us with el-cheapo scanners would like to make use of the buttons that are on them for doing a SCAN, COPY or EMAIL preset. Can you add that as well?
