After a book has been scanned into PDF, you can do optical character recognition (OCR) on the book using ABBYY Fine Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro (both are pay-for programs). OCR'd text allows you to search the book by keyword or export all text to computer text (ASCII). Also Acrobat allows page labels and J-PDF Bookmarks helps TOC If your scan had turned the book into multiple PDF's, you can combine them using Adobe Acrobat Pro, PDF X-change Pro, or another PDF editor program. Happy scanning!
I ran the book through a table saw with a plank of wood on top of it, cutting a quarter inch from the inside. No need for cleaning up shreds after. Less butchery as well!
what's with all the angry people? It's a just a book, jeez! Some of us need to scan the book to use it again or use it for multiple people. (workbooks for students, for example). Get a grip folks. If the book means that much to you. Just don't cut it up. Problem solved.
We offer a service that cuts and scans books for you. It's really cheap and we do it fast for you with OCR options. It's fun to cut and scan books but we can save you a lot of time.
Do you mean how can one scan a book without tearing the book? If so, you can find book and document scanners online. I think the best one is the Czur one although its a bit spendy at around 400 bucks.

@sgtpepper1138 yeah no damage, but a LOT OF WORK to find, buy, and put all the parts together.
Wonder if you could use a table saw?
what should i do if i had to scan the original bible?
The TOC is ALWAYS important. -.-
I can't believe she said "you can eliminate pages that are not important." That's the publisher's job, ma'am. Your job is to preserve the book.
@octapendragon you know of any places i could send my book to and they dont cut it up?
Canon duplex P-208 , it's very easy for 100£

Thank you! Ignore the morons, you did a good job!
@geobnova Sorry, but this is the WRONG way to scan a book. that guy Daniel Reetz does it the right way. No damage to the book at all.
