View source for File talk:GRwiki Catalog F3 OCR 1931.pdf

Hey, Jerry and Peter - this file seems to have limited OCR - it has TOC and links to sections but the text doesn't seem to be searchable - I know that some other catalogues are fully indexed, so wondered if you'd like to re-run the OCR (I think my methods would lose the TOC and hotlinks, so I'm apprehensive about replacing it myself) [[User:Qfissler|Qfissler]] ([[User talk:Qfissler|talk]]) 05:58, 22 September 2024 (PDT)

This file like many others were from the GR Historical Society and the quality was not the best.  I performed OCR using Acrobat 8 and the results are what you see.  That being said I've been replacing these catalogs with our own and the results are very good.  I noticed the problem when I was creating some of the pages.  Some of the Experimenters have the same issue. 
The short answer is, do whatever is possible to improve the OCR and I can replace the contents and hotlinks, not a lot of work.
Let me know how it turns out.
Thanks.
Jerry
:Thanks - done - but I also tried on '''GRwiki_Catalog_F2_OCR_1931.pdf''' and it looked very messy - text blurred and overlaid with OCR text - I think I'm going to have to re-visit my pdf options... [[User:Qfissler|Qfissler]] ([[User talk:Qfissler|talk]]) 12:12, 24 September 2024 (PDT)

Looks great now.  I restored the TOC links. The OCR is on the money.  Just check it so all is well.
Thanks Again.
Jerry
