or you can open them in a browser and copy/paste them into whatever txt app you want.
Wrong. you cannot.
PDFs are a real bitch of a format to extract text from. They don't store it as text but as images.
To copy paste out of a PDF requires relying on OCR (optical character recognition) of your PDF software.
Most cannot do it at all. SumatraPDF can... but it makes errors during the copy process where it misrecognizes letters.
If I just try to copy paste the whole document into libre office writer it pastes each page as a photo. impossible to edit.
Using sumatraPDF (great open source program for PDFs) I can extract text from one page at a time using its built in OCR... but that completely destroys all formatting and introduces copy errors.
As such, rather than a single spot correction, it would require me to completely redo the entire thing. Easily a few dozen work-hours.
If they were abandoned it might be justified to do. But they are currently being actively worked on considering the last update to the walkthrough was about 2 weeks ago.
So if I do spend 30 hours redoing the entire walkthrough to fix one line, my change will end up being abandoned the next time m3ntir releases a newer version of the walkthrough in pdf from his own source files.
Post them when, where? I'm pretty sure that M3ntir didn't make the WT.
How do you know it was not M3ntir?
It could be M3ntir's name on a different forum. people use different names for different forums you know.
M3ntir updated his post containing the walkthroughs a little over 2 weeks ago. (dec 20th, 2023). this shows they are still being actively worked on. And over the last few years every update resulted in m3ntir updating his walkthrough post with newly updated walkthroughs. since there is no link to the walkthrough writer's official site, then m3ntir is the only known contact point between us and the walkthrough writer. if m3ntir isn't the walkthrough writer.
