<br>
Many of us may have resources that date from the beginning of last century or
before.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">These
publications may be yellowing and becoming brittle.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Litterature
in lowlands dialects is often a bit kitchy: "my mother language",
"in the shadow of our village tower" etc;, so often of low literary
value (so it will never be scanned by serious libraries), but this
stuff may still be very interesting as witness of a local
language/dialect variant.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">We could
scan those publications before brittleness turns them completely into power.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">So I have a
couple of questions.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">1 - What
about legal rights?</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- Can we
scan, and publish on the web, an original print, after the author is dead
for at least 70 years?</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- Do we
have some rights on the scan (since we did it and the scanned original copy is
our property)?</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â E.g.
I would state that my scans are my property and may not be published elswhere,</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â so
that I can withdraw it all from my web pages in case a legal issue raises.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- What when
cannot find the relevant data of the author, or in cases of an anthology?</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">- What in
case of an original publishing house that still exists, the author being
dead though for more then 70 years?</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">2 -
Technical stuff.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">I would
scan pages at 300 dpi; paste the saved jpg files in a word doc and safe
finally in pdf format, for getting an acceptable resolution.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">However the
size of the pdf file can blow up and force me to split an several parts.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">I see in France for old
books they often leave things as one jpg file for each page,</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">forcing to
download page by page.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Further I
have read somewhere that in the Gutenberg cercles they prefer character
recognition being applied and the content being saved in txt files.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">This may
give problems for representing some sounds represented by exotic characters (I
once had a problem with rspresenting "u-ring' in an old Limburgish text,
since it doesn't exist in html)</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Further
this requires a letter-by-letter check on errors, so one cannot publish very
fast.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Lay-out and
titles in the margin are also lost.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Thanks for
all advice.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Regards,</span></p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Hi, Roger!<br>
<br>
Interesting stuff …<br>
<br>
Suggestion: If you want to past graphics into MS Word and then convert the
documents to PDF, try saving the scanned picture in pict (.pct) and/or Windows
Metafile.*</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br>
*</span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style=""></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">In Word, make a text box (without a frame) of the size of a
given picture.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style=""></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Paste the picture into it in whatever superior format you
have it (such as Photoshop's .psd format).</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style=""></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Select the frame by clicking on it.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style=""></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Go to where you want to paste the final picture.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style=""></span></span><span dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Under "Edit", go to "Paste special" and select
"Windows Metafile" and/or "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)". Do
both to see if one of them is better and/or takes less memory.</span></span></li></ul>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">GIF and JPG
are meant to be used on Web pages. GIF is better for line and simple color graphics.
JPG is best for photographs and other subtle tone-in-tone pictures. However, in
Word you are not restricted to these two formats. By all means try and see how line
graphics (such as monochrome pictures of book pages) come out in GIF and what
their sizes are.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">In my
experience, Metafile and Enhanced Metafile formats tend to be great in Word
(and converted in PDF), both for line and polychrome. You need to experiment
and come up with the best deal re quality and size.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Make sure
you distinguish formats by types of jobs. For instance, do monochrome line
stuff in a minimal way (e.g. GIF or Metafile but in "black and white"
or "graytone" mode) so you don't "waste size". </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">If your document
contains word-processed text as well and you have made a PDF with it, in<span style="">Â </span>Acrobat select "Reduce Size" under
"File". This will create the smallest possible PDF document.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">When I want
to end up with a PDF facsimile of book pages and don't want to insert my own
text, all I do is scan the pages straight into Acrobat. (Open Acrobat, go to
"File" and "Create PDF" and then specify the scanner.) Acrobat
does a fine job, and it's direct instead of going via another program.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">By the way,
you can also scan straight into Word ("Insert" >
"Picture" > "From Scanner or Camera").<br>
<br>
I let others answer about the copyright issue. I'm not well versed at that and
would like to know the answer myself.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron<br>
