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

[Bruno Afonso]

After many messages I don't feel it's really clear what the goals are. What
would Bernie find acceptable, what would be great and what would be
perfect. I understand the need to professional work with attention to
detail, but at the same time, clearly this is not a viable solution given
its cost. Others suggested a group effort, but this does not seem to be an
option for Bernie. So what is? Better OCR at $0 cost using a professional
scanner at $0 cost?

The OCR on the main text doesn't seem hard to me, even using just
commercially available OCR programs. And that is really all you want to
OCR. Humans will still understand equations and schematics, why try to
OCR/re-make those?
