		<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.
		See the <link href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pdf">PDF Wiki page</link> for more information.

	<tr>
		<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.
		See the <link href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jpeg">JPEG Wiki page</link> for more information.

	<tr>
		<td><p>PNG</p></td>
