Surprisingly enough, most publishers don't seem to hang on to the electronic files of the book once the printing plates are made. It seems extremely bizarre, I know, but many publishers would be reduced to the same steps as the rest of us: cut apart a paper book, scan, OCR, and edit.
Unless they want to get a scan from someone who's already done this... e.g. from the darknet.
