And then some people wonder why I hate pdf..... 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.

and any new pdf created document needs to be ADA compliant (Americans
with Disabilities Act) and needs to be text searchable. Chris. |

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! Chris. |

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. |
