Read it all too many times trying to proof the OCR from the scans. What
did
I do wrong with the pdf? I'm open to any suggestions for cleaning it up
or

i apologize, i didn't mean _just_ the pdf, which is fine. the
origional text is pretty technical, and too wordy (imho). and
i didn't realize until now that you are the op. the html makes
it easier to use and refer back/forward.

no, great stuff(!), sorry for giving the wrong impression.

Best Regards, --Loren

making it more "user friendly" except I'm just too damn lazy to go
through
the source doc file and bookmark every page. Aside from that, how can I
improve it? TK -- Cogito ergo bibo

hmmm, scans, OCR? it sounds like you are making work, or just
a couple of generations behind on the current tech.offerings.

wrt to the pdf, maybe you need a later adobe? if you cannot
see it on the screen, printing will only make it worse. OCR
is not going to help.

even with a slow connection, try to grab the html version.
sometimes you can just open it in place, w/o downloading
the whole file. that would give you some really decent
navigation tools. --Loren



It was a collaboration, one of the misc.survivalism regulars sent me .jpgs
of the book, I ran them through OCR (OmniPage 12), saved them in a M$ word
DOC file, proofed and cleaned up, and exported the whole enchilada to PDF
( Acrobat 6.0 Pro). Did the HTML version by export from M$ Word as well,
just didn't bookmark the pages to the DOC file, waited (my mistake) until
after the HTML export.

I'll bite, what am I missing?
