format, it was cumbersome to scroll the pages using the scroll bars, to locate the search words.<\/p>\n<p>We discovered that her PDF files were scans of historical publications, dating back to the mid-1850s, and were in the classic &#8216;broadsheet&#8217; format.\u00a0 This is a page at 50% magnification.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
