By default, Abbyy output is returned as a single HTML file without word coordinates. To add coordinates add "&coords" to the query string; e.g. "http://www.ebookcoop.net/ebookcoop/FromIA?cu31924097556546&coords";. To return the file as a gzipped HTML file add "&gzip" to the query string. To return the file as a zip archive of HTML files where each file represents a single page (and should have the same naming convention as the image files) add "&zip" to the query string. Note that "&zip" and "&gzip" are incompatible, with "&zip" taking precedence; if you use both options, "&gzip" will be ignored. If you were building an online editing tool you would probably want to use a query string like this: "http://www.ebookcoop.net/ebookcoop/FromIA?tarzanofapes00burruoft&coords&zip"; Again, let me remind you that this service is running on an old Pentium /// in my basement at the end of a DSL line, so expect it to be quite slow (it could require a matter of minutes to construct the file). As always, feedback is encouraged.
