thought:
Anyone got the chops to OCR the stuff to make a searchable PDF? Maybe you
could fix Jon's typos then too (as you won't have to retype the whole page)?
Just a thought (although a labour intensive one).

http://vermouth.csua.berkeley.edu:1337/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gzg-l I
have Acrobat Pro 7 and a scanner, but I'm not sure if it has OCR handling
built in. And then, of course, I don't have a copy of those books! If someone
has a copy to lend, I will see what my scanner will handle. I'm in the US if
that makes a difference.
Thanks, Andreas

er my first attempt not being good enough for printing, I concluded that
making graphic images of text pages would never be good enough or produce a
resonable sized PDF.
I am about half way through using OCR on SG1 and have found a new PDF creation
utility (doPDF) that allows me to create pages in A4 size.
(Word to the wise - the utility PrimoPDF is not so Primo!).
For others trying, I am using the OCR built into HP Precision LTX that came
with my HP scanner, dropping the text into MS Word for editing, and then using
doPDF. First 20 pages amde a PDF about 800K in size.
