Neither vector nor raster information describes the actual embedded
_text_ we're talking about though. The stuff that lets you
copy-and-paste _text_ (not images), or search text. PDFs can also have
that. And even know what portions of a raster displayed image correspond
to what characters.

I should also remark that vector information and raster information may
exist in the same PDF file. For example, a PDF of a magazine or newspaper
will probably vector text and column borders while photography will be
raster at ~300dpi.

Generally PDFs are capable of displaying two types of information: Vector
and Raster.
Vector information is composed of lossless data that describes points,
smooth lines, gradients, and curves. Vector information is lossless and has
no native resolution, it can be infinitely scaled. Text data is u

Hi,
I'm looking for comparisons of, and your experience with, institutional
repository applications. What are the key features? What do you like, or
don't like, about your current system?

I often employ the word 'raster', along with some other foul language, for any
PDFs that don't have manipulate-able text.

I've also heard many people use the term "searchable PDF" for a text-based PDF.

That is the same terminology I use as well -- image-based versus text-based. I
find that works most times because people can visually see if something looks
like a scanned image.

There is another level of granularity though, inasmuch as you can publish a
text-based PDF that attempts to prevent copy/paste. Like websites with
their javascript hacks, it isn't really secure, it just ins
It can also be both, by the way. The OCR or text can be hidden behind
the image, but selectable.
Or it can have both image and text, but the text isn't selectable.
This enables searching without being able to cut and paste the text.
In other words, IMO you should just describe the situation you h

That sounds like a bad idea. If there was free food in the library then all the
students (not just the nerdy, lonely, and foreign ones) would not only know
where the library is and but would also actually walk through the doors.
Chaos would ensure.

I've thought for a while that libraries would be significantly better places
if there was always a big brisket near the reference desk that people could
just carve a slice off of and a giant pot of curry in the basement.
