i'm currently working on converting the other pdfs as well.

I'm not trying to 1-up you, but would you care to mention how you've enabled searchable text in a PDF? I've been told by some that the latest version of Adobe Acrobat (I think it's in the 7s now) has the ability to recognize english text from a scanned document. I do not know the details of how to work it though...

Again thanks for doing this.

Now if you could find a way to get people to use the forum search button to find the searchable manual to find the answer to the question they couldn't be bothered to search for.
