Umm.
Have you ever googled for something and had it turn up PDF

images of pages, not text.
How do you know it doesn't contain text?
Because in several instances in which I've downloaded the
referenced PDF file and torn it apart (to re-compress, trim out cover
pages that weren't present in the original document, etc) they've
contained only images.
What tools are you using to do this? I have a number of datasheets that I
haven't put online yet because they're "branded" with other sites
feeling the
need to put a "page" in there saying where they've been downloaded from,
for
example, or other similar nonsense.
Something that runs under linux would be preferred.
