Hi! I need an advice from this forum about how can I publish (and where) an original manual (T3079-3 General Purpose Marine Receiver NS702 Type 2207E or G).  In 2021 I've created and published the model mimmarconi_marine_receiver_ns702_2207_g (with the precious help of Howard CravenEdwards † 25.10.21 and Martin Bösch), and now I've digitalized (pdf) the all manual and pictures, but I don't know where can I publish them (the text manual is about 5MB and the 24 draws (about 26,5M). Can anyone help me, please? Thanks!

Hello Mr. Alves,

I think, help is coming. From Mr. Bösch. I've spoken with him about your request.

With kind regards

Hello, what a great receiver and what a luck that you have the original manual.

In radiomuseum.org, we can publish PDF files under certain conditions, their size should be reduced to below 6 MB. This should be done by converting the text by means of an OCR software (optical character recognition) and use PNG compression for images and drawings.

Maybe you can send me the original scans and will give my best to create a PDF file according to our specifications. Is the text manual part already converted to plain text using OCR?

Maybe you can send me the scans in one or several ZIP files or we have to use dropbox or something similar file sharing platform.

Kind regards from Switzerland

Hello Firmino, thank you very much for the dropbox link, it worked for me to download the files.

Do you have the original files coming from the Scanner, because your files are already converted to PDF. Mi might try to extract the images, but it qould be easier to convert the original scans, for example as TIF, JPG or PNG files.

Otherwise I will try if I can extract the text an data,
kind regards
Martin

Hi Mr. Boesch,

I have already converted all pages and figures from pdf to png at pdf2png.com. I have shared with you the png version at the same link I sent to you before. Please check.

Thanks for your help!
