I'd LOVE to convert these to ebooks.....using PDFs?
Any suggestions how to do it at reasonable or low cost?
my thanks in advance.

That sounds like the film for making offset press plates . That sheet is kind of big for most scanners.
Paintshop Pro as a command to Invert (make a negative) of an image, but first you probably need to divide the overall plate to 16 individual images (do not reduce any image for best clarity)

BTW you want a 'Photo' image scanner that can accommodate: 1) a full page 2)permit the film to be positioned
