Pete.:
Nice work John. Didn't expect it to come out that clean :bow:

awemawson:
I confess (and hope that I dont offend John) but those are not the ones John cleaned. His were very good but the page number and paragraph indents weren't quite bang on.

In the end I re-scanned the pages into Microsoft Word 2007. Then spent a couple of days re-learning how to set and clear tabs and indents and manually sorted out the formatting. Having done that I printed out fair  copies and again scanned them into searchable PDF's using the original software.

John Stevenson:
No Andrews final copies were better than mine.
Mine were clean but it was the page numbers that were out as regards column position. Had it many times before in that if you do ..........11  it finishes in a different place than ..........99 because if the width if the numbers.
There should be an easier way in programs to centre justify columns.

Also many programs, word especially put in hidden justification characters that then further off set columns out of order.

And before anyone kicks off it's not a linux / windows issue but a program issue.

Sorry for the late post, but I didn't see it mentioned previously.

Look for a program called pdfSAM (pdf split and merge). Written in Java, it runs on most platforms and is free. Splits pdfs, extracts individual pages, odd/even pages, rotates pages, reorders documents, joins pdfs. Very highly recommended.

awemawson:
Thanks for that - I'll download it and have a try
