The data sheets thenselves are PDF files created from bitmapped data as opposed at retaining textual information.

That's a thought. I would assume, though, that you also lose the ability to search the PDF for words and that, probably, the PDF grows quite a bit.

For converting from the text based source, which you probably have in HTML format, to the bitmapped flavor there are a number of tools around so I wont push a particular one.<P>

Actually I have it in OpenOffice "Write" format. It used to be in Microsoft Word but I converted it to OpenOffice last week (just some minor pagination issues). From there I can "print" directly to PDF format.

Ahh, the joys of being Microsoft-free.
