A short introductory article by Ralph Griswold on making digital facsimiles of printed documents for publication on the Web. It outlines the four main steps: scanning pages, touching up the images, laying out pages, and producing a PDF. It also lists the hardware and software needed, including a flatbed scanner, Photoshop, PageMaker and Adobe Distiller. It is the first part of a series, and later parts cover the individual steps.
