(Created page with "The PDFs that were marked "bad OCR" were done with ABBYY FineReader and have major problems. FineReader overzealously "corrected" what it thinks is skew. See page 54 of 070-0434-02.pdf for an example. In general FineReader mangles the images rather than just adding an invisible text layer. I don't know whether the mangling can be turned off. I stopped using it. Also, see page 4 of 070-0895-00.pdf. Again, it incorrectly "corrected" the skew. Also see the figures on page 1...") |
