not being able to ctrl-F a textbook or have click-to-chapter links sure makes studying harder these days… and any scanning software worth it’s salt will at least do the bare minimum OCR automatically…
I much prefer doing ocr by myself if really needed, than getting an half assed “book” full of typos and broken tables just because someone did an automated OCR but didn’t have the 5-6 hours required to manually edit to make it decent
Already be thankful that someone took the time to flip page by page in their scanner manually and upload it somewhere
Bitch you can’t ctrl-F or click to chapter in an actual book either.
Wait until OP hears about the Index at the back of the book.
I know, that’s my point! PDF’s are inherently superior BECAUSE you can usually CTRL-F them.
I hope this sentiment never stops someone from uploading a textbook without OCR. Once it’s scanned it can always be OCRed at a later time.
Simple: pirate adobe acrobat and ocr them yourself.
