Matthew -


To begin with, the OCR request was to see if anyone could show me if it was possible to get a better OCR than the one I posted and discussed.

It was NOT a request to have anyone scan everything, but a test sample (AN23) to see what could be done beyond what I already knew about.  I apologize for not being more clear. My thought was that someone would print out the two pages I posted and scan them into an modern OCR reader and perhaps have a file that is significantly smaller, with search/edit capabilities, and acceptably (automatically) re-positioned figures and equations.


Everyone was bragging that this would be easy, so if you prefer, it was a challenge.  I was fully prepared to be impressed.   I got only one taker (thanks) but NO improvement. Essentially my 10 year old Lexmark returned.  Others, whom I respect, said that it would be very difficult.


If anyone CAN do better, please show your work!


Your comment about the commercial aspects are addressed in an earlier comment of today.
