this means they are not searchable. It seems at first that they can be searched, and
copy and paste, but that is only the safety warning pages inserted by the people who
scanned the pages into the PDF. None of the content is searchable!
if you know how to do OCR (optical character recognition) on a PDF and make it so that
one can still search the PDF without altering its readable appearance, please do so to
some of the manuals here:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot
highest priority would be the programming manual:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479950-3-Programming_manual_v4.pdf
and the robot arm manual:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479951-4-K10S_manual.pdf
this would be an example of a PDF that has the scanned parts searchable:
