Re: [GZG] PDFing SG1, DS1, G-Cav, etc.

[martin connell <mxconnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After 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).
