The original is there, as well as "split" and "OCR". "split" is the
original but with the pages cut down the center (there were two pages
per page). OCR is split with a few pages removed, OCR'd, and pages
straightened. Both split and OCR were loaded up and saved from OS/X
Preview. This is a hack that makes the iOS PDF engine run a lot
smoother (and not crash as much). Since Apple forces all PDF readers
to use their engine, this should benefit any reader.

Happy New Year.

Not exactly parsing that... I just received an iPad as a gift, so which file
would I want to use?

Thanks or the great work, Egan!

Use the OCR or the Split versions with the iPad. Both were run through
the Mac OSX Preview/PDF viewer and re-saved, so they should be more
iPad/iPhone iOS friendly.

Use the OCR version and you can search the document.

Since the OCRed text is "under" the images, it still looks and
reads exactly like the non-OCR version, but it is searchable.
You can also cut and paste text from the OCRed version.
