[AGA-mcm] PDF tester anyone?

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Results are starting to take shape on my rescan.

This is probably the most elaborate I've had to get with scanning and 
reconstruction.  Pulled all the staples out of the pristine TAGs Cheryl 
sent, and fed them through the auto feeder, except for covers which I 
hand-scanned.  I layed down a line of black electrical tape on the back of 
the imaging surface of my scanner's sheet feeder so that the auto-fed 
pages wouldn't show through the print on the other side of the page (which 
is often the case if you have a white background in a xerox machine or 
scanner).  I beefed up my program to tear apart the raw scans of the 
imposed pages, crop and renumber appropriately, but now put neighboring 
pages BACK TOGETHER in the page number order for the PDF version.  The 
result is pretty nice... this archive will have no more crease lines like 
the first version did.

If you feel like downloading and/or printing a 27 megabyte file, check 
this example out and let me know what you think:

Also curious if anyone in list-land has a fairly high quality flatbed 
scanner and wouldn't mind scanning some PAM's?  While my scanner works 
acceptably for the B&W TAGs, it's not the best on all-color layout, so I'm 
exploring other options.
