Sams Photofact CB-179 President Madison (Older uPD858)_ocred_compressed

Rather than 3 files, upside down pages, skewed pages and nearly 50mb.

This is 1 file, pages ordered/orientation correctly, skews mostly fixed, 17mb, and searchable (i.e. if you're looking for TP7, it will find it on a search)

Link to file is in Sams PhotoFacts Collection Thread

Thank you! I will update those on my end.

My site is accepting backups of any quality just to make sure they are backed up. As time allows, I will try to clean them up by flipping and combining appropriate pages.

This is one of my major winter goals this year. I need to find a good pdf editor/combiner for linux (suggestions welcome).

Thanks @brandon7861, for Free? if so I'm not sure anything comes close to PDF24 as far as range of free PDF tools.

I use Mint occasionally and i believe Stirling PDF might be your goto, though free it uses a credit system, so depends how much you hammer it.

I'm giving it a test just now with the GE 2 part file Dan uploaded earlier. I've already ran it through the PDF24 Tools so we'll see what the comparison is like.

Stirling is not my norm so its a learning curve but it looks ok, if not a little less intuitive on page rotation as you'll see.

Stirling a smaller file but page rotation is not ideal.
PDF24 slightly bigger file.
Both are searchable files.

I suspect Stirling will be about the same with repeated use.

I think I will go with the version that rotates correctly even if it is a bigger file size.

I do have adobe pro somewhere from back when I ran windows OS, I wonder if wine can run that
