   You did not find it.   
      
   I gave you an example of something that has no free downloadable PDF.   
   You didn't find a free downloadable PDF.   
      
   Neither did I. And that was why I gave you that example.   
   We didn't find it probably because it likely doesn't exist on the net.   
      
   If you can find the free PDF, then you're a better searcher than I am.   
   But I doubt you are any better than I am because I'm pretty good.   
      
   Anyway, the point of this question isn't the free downloadable PDF.   
   You made the question into the free downloadable PDF - not me.   
      
   The point is the software to MAKE that PDF out of displayed pages.   
   The trick is going to be to de-blur those pages.   
      
   I'm thinking there may be software someone alluded to that will take images   
   of books (which are black text on a white paper background) & de-blur them.   
      
   Do you know of any software that does that de-blurring specific for text?   
   (Sharpen is ubiquitous but it's not good enough in my tests yesterday.)   
      
   Because this thread is about improving the process of creating a PDF   
   when all you have are the visible pages (as from archive.org).
