With my recent conquest of development software, I thought it would be useful for me and others if I try to "bookscan" the programming manuals I got for Symantec C++ and THINK Pascal.
I plan on using this Instrucable to create my "book scanner." The results are actually quite good.
I put together a little sample PDF of THINK Pascal's User Manual. But I didn't have the tripod setup so some pages are too small, warped, etc.
Once I setup a proper place to do it, I'll be working on "book scanning" the following:
THINK Pascal:
User Manual
Object-Orientated Programming Manual
Symantec C++:
Compiler Guide
Visual Architect and THINK Class Library Guide
I might do some other general programming books I have. But the priority are these four.
Format: Final results will be PDF. However I have been looking at the Djvu format. Apparently there was a Browser plugin made for Mac OS 9. And DjVuLibre can convert Djvu to PDF. So I would be able to provide both formats.
