I understand this complaint may not be the original. Seems to have weird spacing/typos, kind of like Adobe Acrobat recognized the text in a scanned copy.
Why is it that the original PDF was not placed on the website?
The properties of the file say it was generated in Word, using the Acrobat PDFmaker 20 plug in for Word. It would make no sense, in 2020, to print a filing like this from one file, scan it as an image, and use OCR in Acrobat or an OCR program to recapture the text, and then have a staff member re-format a plain text document to the court required formatting and page numbering. This is clearly a pdf generated from the master document, in Word. (which does all that fancy page numbering, footnotes, and styling for you.)
There is a clear (and I think in some case intentional) misunderstanding of OCR and PDFs in this thread. If the document's source is digital, Acrobat doesn't scan the text like it would an image, it just marks the text as editable. It's a simple tag in the file code. Scanning a printed document is silly. Anyone claiming it is either ignorant of how these things works, being stubborn and all ego about it, or trolling, because spreading disinformation iS sO fUnNy.
Now, I will make one concession. This document may have had one last editing pass before uploading to the court system, and the typos have been corrected, and we got the rough draft. We'll be able to see Monday, when it appears in the court system. Sloppy on her staff's part, but having worked with lawyers and their staff...not shocking.
And, it might be intentional.
But this is 100% not an OCR issue. I would bet a year's pay on that.
Makes sense. Just seems weird to see shit with typos in this day and age. Spellcheck --> ignore certain names and terms --> success.
I've burnt out a lot of brain cells in MS Office prepping decks/docs/sheets/models. I understand rough drafts, typos, etc.. but fuck me where's the intern on this? Wouldn't let something like this get passed around internally for fear of being called out on a typo, even if it would be fixed before the final.
At least where I worked, memos definitely got passed around for several rounds of proofreading. That being said, we weren’t particularly hurried to get our documents in, whereas I’m assuming Powell and her team were in a rush.

How do you know it's not original?
