[sdiy] Can anyone OCR the AN23.PDF File Here?

[Joel B]

Why not just scan, and do a come-what-may OCR just for full text indexing - if it picks up a diagram and thinks that is a word, who cares, maybe someone will find something cool via typo they didn't expect. No human intervention, just index words to the page. Highly Imperfect but still super useful.

The equations are still unusable.  It makes the same text errors, apparently.    Why not just say it just can't do this?   Wasn't intended to.
