I need a physical book in a library digitized, turned into a high-quality, fully searchable PDF while looking exactly like the original. Every heading, font choice, page break, margin size, footnote, and special character should appear as it does on paper, and all photographs, charts, and illustrations must be captured at a resolution that still looks crisp when the file is viewed at 100 %. You are free to use any combination of high-resolution scanning, OCR, and layout tools such as Adobe Acrobat, ABBYY FineReader, or InDesign—whatever gives the cleanest result—but the final file has to open flawlessly on standard PDF readers across Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Deliverables (all items required): • One searchable, print-ready PDF that preserves the book’s original formatting and includes every image and illustration in its proper place. • A brief note on the workflow you used and any quality checks you performed, so I can replicate or audit the process later if needed. I’ll review by comparing random spreads of the PDF against the hard copy for formatting fidelity, image placement, and OCR accuracy, so please proof before sending. If something is unclear, just ask—I'd rather clarify early than fix later.
