Almost certainly, the suit was filed as a PDF, but the court published it after it was converted to txt by an optical character recognition (OCR) device.

Having had an OCR in one of my computers, I can testify that that version would have done a lot worse than what you see in this doc.

A typed document was run through a pdf scanner.

That is also why there are sections with no spacing of words.

I suspect the original is virtually flawless

This might be on purpose to trick the left into falsely attacking Sidney of being sloppy.

Those aren’t typos. Look up OCR. No one is that stupid. OK, maybe Pedo Joe.

You are probably getting the idea by now, but it seems that ALL documents submitted to court are put through a OCR process.

This is to ensure that the text in those documents is searchable to (e.g.) Research Attorneys and other legal professionals.

Never mind that Sydney would certainly have submitted a write-protected PDF that was already searchable - I suspect that each court she submits to carries out the following steps:

* Print out any electronic files to paper.
* OCR all received hardcopy, and so expose all of the text to the court library systems.

The fact that large font titles seem to get particularly hacked about by OCR may because they are in a cursive font.

Hope this is helpful.
