Hi Omar, I should think so. If it was a short thing I suppose you could print it and then scan with OCR, but a manual would take ages to do.

So that being the case, is it pretty much inaccessible?

When I open the document with adobe reader, however, all it says is "allert, empty document." If I try going to the other pages in the manual, I get the same message. Any thoughts?
