Included on all our Yorkshire CDroms are 5 maps:
All of the books above are machine searchable i.e. you can search for a word (name) or a phrase. Being machine searchable also allows the Acrobat "Read out loud" facility to work for those who are visually impaired.
All of the books are scanned with the pages as flat as possible to the image sensor in order to keep scanning distortions to a minimum - we do not use an overhead scanner which gives horizontally compressed characters towards the centre of the book due to the curve on the pages and does not remove the print skewing relative to the page edges that occurs in many of the older books.
Presentation
The images on the CDroms and in the downloads are in Acrobat pdf format. For the CDroms these are presented as individual books accessible from a common starting point which should appear automatically when the CDrom is inserted in the computer. The downloadable pdf files are single pdf files for the CDrom equivalent.
