Can you send me such a representative scan?

Optical Character Recognition. A software finds characters from the  
black spots and white gaps and creates words out of them. Sometimes  
it can be funny ... A good OCR software creates a very small text  
document from a large scan of some MB (compare it with pdftotext,  
though it is much simpler) and even can preserve elements of the  
original layout (columns, paragraphs, headers, footnotes).

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists  
solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
