Exactly. You would OCR Scan a document that was particularly long (i.e., a catalog of information) because you needed to edit/update the information. Mostly useful in updating old index info without having to type for days from analog "hard" copy into your "new" computer software. Took more time to fix the OCR mistakes than to just retype the damn stuff.
You would never use OCR to simply make a copy.
PLUS: crumple marks on the PDF wouldn't show up on an OCR scan. Game.Set.Match.
Now this one is interesting:
Has anyone compared all the sets of PDFs to check for crumple marks?
This could tell us a few things, like:
Were the sending, and recieving, fax machines high-end grey-scale machines (or, the recieving machine could have been a fax server).
If the sending OR receiving machines WERE NOT high end grey-scale machines, someone at CBS may have crumpled the documents to "age" them - in which case, CBS is MASSIVELY fAx0rd.
Or, it may be the docs were scanned and emailed, instead of faxed, to CBS, or to an intermediary. That might explain the need to go to Kinkos - they could do they scan, which would almost certainly be a color scan, which would leave the crumple marks in.
Have any bloggers mined this vein yet?
