[sdiy] From Bernie of Electronotes

Sorry, have to disagree..
Most scanners have page feeders now and will happily scan 1000+ pages 
and save to PDF, just by loading the document in and hitting "Scan"

Yes, OCR would be more onerous, but a simple type index page and linked 
chapters wouldn't take much effort and would save bucket loads of paper 
and open new markets for the papers.
