... or to fix the R.A. Salvatore novels that have roosters on the cover (no, I'm not kidding), or to fix the Spanish textbook where tables are entered as images that are corrupted when read by Adobe DE, and of course the occasional OCR errors that turn words like "lie" into "he" and totally confuse the reader.

Honestly... don't they have any proofreaders??
