Doing that will reduce the .jpg file to a size that was lower than the original file...

Well it does not I tried

Well here what I meant by compressing when I said it..

I scan a lot of documents in my office and almost always have to email them, when I scan the documents it is worth 200kb+ and when I used to use ACDSEE to compress it it went like 45-60KB i dont have to worry about image quality as the docs i scan are texts with stamps.

Try ReaCompressor (not free).

for text pages, what I found that a PNG with a small color pallet (like 16 colors or so) do a very good job at storing without taking too much space. You should also consider rescaling the image since scans tend to be big in size. Also, I use PNGoutp to recompress PNG into smaller proportions.
