Re: Xy3 - reference manuals



Flash,

My scanner produces searchable PDF files. Not editable ones, though.

Harry et al, The point about scanning Xy manuals is not to generate foto files such as tifs or gifs, which is what most scanners generate as output; but rather a) editable text files, b) searchable text files, and c) files with internal links. That is, when you click on a line in the toc or index, Acrobat jumps to that page in the file, and you can search the entire file for any string. Budget scanners will not produce the required output. Brian did this with the Xy4 manual. We're working on it.
