Is there anything more embarrassing than coming back from an enterprise content management training with 2 student booklets to which you have no source as PDF? Dear friends, nowadays Microsoft Office comes equipped with a semi-decent OCR software and ADF equipped multi function equipment are bloody cheap. Copying your materials isn't hard so please, save your patrons the trouble of scanning and conducting character recognition and provide them with PDFs!

Instead of trying to "protect" your intellectual property, be smart and promote your brand… Call your marketing dept and tell that your company is trying to reduce its carbon footprint by providing paper free training, find a good excuse, but PLEASE, save us from those horribly looking printed booklets…

The author spent few hours time shifting some training he attended, in other words, feeding his scanner's ADF with double sided pages with presentation printouts.
