Octopus - Redigitization for libraries
PDF collections become searchable knowledge treasures
Why redigitization?
Many libraries have huge PDF collections that are available digitally but are difficult to find or cross-reference. Octopus breaks down these silos and makes the content immediately searchable and reusable.
