Hmm, I was really hoping to be able to store papers as a combined
searchable and image PDF file instead of just searchable non-image PDF
files. (03)
The combined version is great for preserving artifacts because the image
is needed to handle diagrams and layout look and feel (plus any
hand-written notes on the page), and the searchable text is needed so
that it can be made available as part of a site search. (04)
I guess that as an alternative, we could store two versions of each
scanned document (the image PDF and a searchable ASCII or non-image PDF
file). But that isn't quite as convenient. (05)
Thoughts? (06)
