The PDF is simply a scan of each page. I don't believe the text has been
converted to text in the PDF, it's all just image scans. Since this
document was written in the 70's, it's not a surprise that the PDF was
created this way. Newer PDF's are typically generated directly from the
original electronic document, so text remains text in the PDF, so the file
size can be orders of magnitude smaller than a scanned document.

If it's not too much trouble, perhaps in the future Rusty can provide file
size information in these (highly useful) postings? I personally did not
mind the big PDF, but I'm running on a fairly modern machine with 1GB of
RAM. That's plenty of memory to look at big PDF's without lots of disk
swapping.

I didn't realize the ADA extended to pdf files. Just government pdfs, or business
ones as well?

Just curious, as I send out architectural drawings in pdf format all the time. Not
sure how to make a drawing ADA compliant- I just try to make the rooms shown
on them comply, where required

Feel free to do it, or to provide additional funds for that purpose.

While your idea sounds great, and it is, enforcing it tends to ensure that
projects never get started. It tends to impair the non-handicapped more than
it helps the handicapped, just as Title IX has cost more male college sports
opportunities than it has gained women.

I wouldn't know about business ones (probably not) but NASA pdf files
must be (I guess that doesn't apply to highly technical documents that
I think Rusty have given lists to from the NTRS server).
Chris.

While preparing html formated books for NASA's History Office, I had to
make sure that pictures had an underlying text layer, which is an ADA
requirement.
I was asked to do it and it didn't require much additional work, so
that was ok with me.
Re the politics of all this, I wouldn't know. I live across the
Atlantic!

Rusty:
I really appreciate all the work you've done on
the NASA pdf files. I have almost 2 gigs downloaded and would like to
store them on CD-Rs. Could someone walk me through the burning stage
and then how to get them to play off a storage CD on another machine?
Thanks...Joe from RI.
