The following files have been virus scannned using Zone Alarms. Only Scansoft 4.0 has been confirmed to be working. Ask any questions if you have trouble getting anything to work.

I believe that .pdf converters are important in the spreading of knowledge. They make files smaller and better quality meaning less bandwith usage and easier to follow. These converters will convert files to .docs and other editable formats. There are several different kinds of converters hosted to suit your size restrictions and memory usage but Scansoft is the best from what I've heard.

To dl scansoft dl it from herehttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=U6DY6WAJ and then use the serial off of www.mediafire.com,this link also contains other converters, I will soon edit this and add more and any assistance that is needed.

The Mediafire email address for login = controlv@gmail.com, while the password = controlc

Zone Alarm is a firewall, not an AV scanner.

And why not provide the serial/crack in the same file on megaupload, (unless you're not the one who uploaded it) or provide it in your above post?

[hammer]

zone alarm has a virus/trojan/spyware scanner built in it has some advantages over avg I'm not claiming its the best scanner but its decent. Also maybe scansoft was orginally supposed to be on mediafire but mediafire does not allow uploads over 100 megs.


I'm sorry you would have to dl a 125 byte txt file but I didn't upload them files.

Try a torrent and download at a much faster speed with far less grief.

Omnipage pro 15.... should include pdf convertor.


http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/677541/77257/

Scansoft pdf convertor 4 pro.


http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/418449/695313/

Scansoft pdf convertor 3 pro


http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/919537/540799/

another version of ScanSoft_PDF_Converter_Professional_v4.0. Larger file size. (it's an image file, this one)


etc. etc.

One can search other torrent sites (use http://isohunt.com/) and get more torrents of the same.

DOC's are smaller than PDF's ??

Every file I've ever seen that was available in both doc and pdf was -larger- in doc. And I detest ms-Word anyway...lol

Personally, I'd much rather have pdf's. (they're editable too)

You said "pdf converters", but if you were only talking about converting -scanned- books to pdfs, then yes, as a rural guy where DSL isn't even available, I agree 500%! :D

I really hate 55mb scanned books. Not only do they take a dozen hours to download; but they also suck in the PDF reader....slow and jerky to scroll...and you can't SEARCH for anything! Nor copy text from; to make notes with. That really sucks.

Better than not having the book at all tho I guess... :D

Slow connection is also a problem for those software torrents.

Corona, I noticed that that Omnipage file is 470mb !!

Does anyone know where a "cleaned up" version is? I.e., not a full ISO image, but just the minimum file-set needed to run it ??

I have a bunch of useful scanned books that I'd like to OCR...

[nbk2000]

The .ISO is the 'clean' version. A person could mail you a CD with it if it would prove worth the trouble. What books do you have?

[hydra]

yup, ISO's are neat, no doubt about it.

...when they come on a CD... :D

Pretty much impossible to get one over a modem-connection though (i.e. the typical 300-600mb one).

And a lot of apps actually only need 30-70mb of files to run.

But of course, that's only after someone has done the work of 'prepping' the right file-set, and install files....which most folks don't have much incentive to putz with, naturally enough.

Anyway, as far as books go, I'm still trying to find a way to copy a directory listing to the clipboard. You'd think that'd be a simple thing! But as far as i can tell, the function is totally missing from Windows. I'm chasing down google-hits now; to find some piece of freeware that'll do it neatly. Will report back on that....

I have some electrochem, some micron metal powder production, some RF engineering......and in storage, about 1,000 hardcovers that I don't have any way to scan right now. Those cover a pretty wide range...from thin-film processing, to energy-conversion, to colloidal chem, to mechanics of materials, to steam power design, to high-power pulse and HV engineering...

gawd...I just can't remember them all....packed them away 6 yrs ago, last time I moved. No library space in the cabin here...sigh...

Are you looking for a book or subject in particular right now?

[defiant]

Books on artillery and detonation/explosive from 1942-1946 (or more recent if available).

Also, I use Omnisoft's Paperport 8.0 for scanning. It works well, OCR's pretty effectively, and is only about 76 Mb's. Intuitive to work with too.

[hydra]

Defiant, thanks for the ref to that OCR software. Is that already up on the ftp? I haven't figured out how to search the ftp yet...

OK, I did figure out how to capture a windows directory listing as text though. I found a little freeware called files.exe which I found at:

http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/program/files.html

No install required, and it's only 15k. You just run it when you need it.

I'm pasting one of my books directories below. I think that most of the chem stuff I have is probably already on the ftp....but if anyone sees anything novel, let me know and I'll upload it.

I have a number of other books on disk as well; but they're packed away in rar archives. I'll have to locate them and see what's in them. It seems that I should also make a "card catalog" of my HD someday soon too...lol..

[defiant]

No, its not on the ftp, nor do I have the .exe with me to upload - its in storage. It's a retail version with no bugs. If anyone's interested remind me to upload it if I forget.

Acrobat 7 is also available, but don't let it call home.

PaperPort uses .max files, which are in PaperPort terminology stackable image files. In normal nomenclature that means they can be assembled into multipage documents. They (.max files) can be saved to a number of other formats, including uncompressed multipage Tiff's, which can then be converted to PDF's using Actobat with a pretty small file size for decent quality images.

A good way of reducing Acrobat files (in B&W) is to print the Acrobat file to Paperport, save the .max file as an uncompressed multipage tiff, and then convert the tiff file back to Acrobat PDF. Ordinarily it cuts the file size in half.

The process involves tweaking with greyscale and color images.

With regards to the files your offering - PM TMP and ask him for access to the ftp. Its not kill and destroy material, but you don't know till you ask, and a scan of something particularly interesting will assuredly grease the wheel...:D

[hydra]

hmm....not clear on what you're saying...

Is Paperport only for running with a scanner then?

Or will it take in an -existing- PDF file?

I have a couple PDF's which weren't OCR'ed; so they are 55mb instead of the 5.5 mb that they should be. That's what I'm focusing on at this time...reworking the non-text PDF's.

In regards to my stored books, I don't have a scanner any more to scan them with. My old scanner was SCSI, and now that we live off-grid, I can't run a full-boat tower PC any more....and of course the laptops don't have scsi; so I got rid of it. Need to pick up a USB flatbed one of these days it looks like...

My main interest is in the -processes-...and the equipment to carry them out...so I probably don't have much in my library that's E/W specific anyway.

But some of the electrochem, colloids, catalyst, and analytical material, is generically useful no matter what the field of interest is of course.

Now that I'm getting started here, I'll start investing some time into combing my HD for files, producing text-lists of what's in each giant RAR archive, etc. etc..

ps; tmp kindly set me up for the server a couple days ago...but I don't yet know where to put uploads. I need to search the threads here and find whatever instructions that exist. Also, I haven't figured out how to do a search of the server yet...so I don't know which of my items are already on there. All in good time I guess.

edit: just realized that I probably shouldn't have posted that books list here earlier. Is there a 'best' forum/thread for posting 'availability' lists in?

[nbk2000]

The Scanning anything interesting? thread seems most relevant.

[weeds]

I just copy the whole pdf article and then paste it in doc. format,so perhaps it might work.
