You scan 'em.  Unfortunately, while Acrobat includes a scanning module, its 
default storage method produces PDFs which are enormously bloated.  The 
original PDF from the Weston manual was almost 95 Megabytes!  So I also 
Postscripted the whole thing, and then ran the .ps file through Acrobat 
Distiller with some carefully-chosen parameters.  Voila.  Less than 1 Megabyte.

Adobe really oughta do something about that.  Maybe Acrobat 5's got a better 
plugin for scanning...
