Re: [AGA-mcm] PDF tester anyone?
Looks great!!!
At the moment, I don't have a decent flatbed for this purpose. I bought an
HP scanner/FAX/copier, and it is fine for scanning text, or its other two
functions, but I have been underimpressed with its quality on photo-type
scans.

Subject: [AGA-mcm] PDF tester anyone?
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.
