Need help finding something

Hugh, I used to have a part time job that scanned manuals into worrd, edited for clarity, alignment, picture adjusting, etc. with the final product in PDF format that was searchable and linked. That project has been shut down for some time. Your looking at something that is pretty time consuming - even with modern day equipment. You really need to scan into word, edit, then ouput the the final copy as a PDF if you want to ensure it can't be altered. Depending on the quality of the end result you want, the original needs to be "destroyed" (taken apart) to get the best image possible (also saves on the editing end). Someone trying to hold it in a scanner adds time and does not produce the best image possible.

I'll look around and see if I can find that company. Not sure how much your wanting to invest into this project.
