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.

Regards,
Martin

  One 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).
