@Hammerwell @gloriouscow @internetarchive So in terms of "stop using MRC in PDFs", I guess the answer is "Done"

@Hammerwell @gloriouscow @internetarchive And here is the .TIFF file that PDF was generated from.

@Hammerwell @gloriouscow @internetarchive OK, well, the file you are linking to (In https://archive.org/details/PCMAG) was not scanned by Internet Archive. It was uploaded by a user 5 years ago, using whatever PDF approach they decided to take, or, more likely, was taken by someone THEY duplicated the scans from.

Here's another non-IA-done scan, with proper work.
