Looks great and good choice on quality over file size. The PDF format is very helpful. Thanks!

Re: [Ql-Users] Sinclair QL documents, manuals and magazines
Today I've scanned a Sinclair QL advertisement out of a 1984 magazine as a trial. Check it out: 1) as PDF (v1.4, two layers graphic and text, text searchable) http://www.cowo.ch/downloads/SinclairQL_advertisement_doublepage_1984-0x.pdf That's great - the text layer makes it very easy to search for text in a scanned document even though it looks like a graphic. Is the OCR part pretty reliable and needing little proof reading/correction afterward? 2) as JPG http://www.cowo.ch/downloads/SinclairQL_advertisement_doublepage_1984-0x.jpg I did go for best quality not for small file size. - Welcome to 2009 with powerful PC's and fast Internet all around. ;-) Regards, Urs As long as we have broadband to download them ;-)) -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
