You are (a) just trying to OCR the document? Or are you (b) using AI to fill the gaps of those cut off pages you mentioned? If the former, (a), using tesseract may be easier since this document is typed, not handwritten. Ocrmypdf (which uses tesseract) gave me a reasonable text approximation. What errors were you seeing? If you need to tweak the OCR, straightening the page helps enormously. Or, you can add a custom dictionary. And if there is a persistent misconstrual, training tesseract on a specific typeface isn't as hard as it used to be. If the latter, (b), maybe we should go full retro and collaborate on this list to reconstruct the missing parts. --b9
