--- Comment #2 from billinghurst <[email protected]> ---
I have occasional use to convert public domain files found in pdf format. I
need to trim components, and we have PDFtk on labs that suits that purpose.
While they can be loaded to Commons for Wikisource as PDF files, they are
generally inferior in retaining line by line text so not as useful for
Wikisources.  This will enable me to grab, trim, and convert files from labs,
then push to Commons.

An example is
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Electoral_Disabilities_of_Women.pdf
which I have uploaded, though due to the poor pdf rendering, I am needing to
separately OCR (PITA).

At the moment, I am pulling in one or two files a week.
