Each CD-ROM contains actual page images from the original books. They are produced by scanning the original texts, making them not only excellent resources but archival copies available for future generations. The age of most of these texts make them unreadable under normal conditions as well as expensive to own due to their limited availability. Unless stated otherwise, they are not text searchable. They contain an extensive bookmark feature that makes it very easy to find the pages you want. Additionally Adobe now offers, on the PC version, a feature called the "paper catcher". It will convert about 98% of all pdf  images intosearchable text. It uses a process called OCR (Optical Character Recognition) which "reads" the image and converts it into text. With this new feature you can convert individual pdf files to a searchable text. For further information please contact Adobe at:http://www.adobe.com/support/readguide.html.
