Clean the stray marks and borders from an image like this one, and vertically align the data in the center of the page. https://imgur.com/a/iRM7coo Can it be done programmatically?

LOL! You're gonna have to settle for a little nicer looking one: <https://imgur.com/a/8xuEc7B> (I added a little 'lighter' image) I figured you had a ton, trying to prompt Feeb into action.

Feeb changed the background color of a .jpg, but finding those random collections of black pixels and differentiating them from, say, a page number, is probably much more challenging.

In a fit of Snit you clipped the 2nd pic.

Why? Because it actually had a slight rotation issue and wasn't centered as well (and the dark text against those dark backgrounds didn't show up as well). > https://imgur.com/a/8xuEc7B> > > > > >>> I figured you had a ton, trying to prompt Feeb into action. > >> > >> > >> A whole .pdf's worth. > >> > >> Feeb changed the background color of a .jpg, but finding those random > >> collections of black pixels and differentiating them from, say, a page > >> number, is probably much more challenging. > > > > As in 'not doable'. > > > Feeb and owl offered up some solutions - I'll try them later. Neither of them address the stray mark issue. If you have access to the original I'd rescan. If not, it'd take you about a work week's worth of hours with MS paint I'd imagine (to get rid of the stray marks, that is). I tried some layering with different blend modes on channels to see if that might do the trick but I don't think it'd satisfactorily remove 'em. Do all those pages have issues to that same degree (even the text pages)?

The 3rd ed. seems to be some kind of pseudo-black-market Indian production, with errors galore, so I wouldn't bother hunting that one down.

The 3rd Edition I have is the real USA/North America version, but how it got so mangled is beyond me. It's not down to dirty scanner glass or anything, 'cause the stray marks are all over the place and different on every page. The Global Edition would be noted on the Title Page or Copyright page, and has the errors you refer to.

OK. The hardcover seems to be the right one. Why not just buy it and spare yourself the misery of reading it on a computer?

OK. The hardcover seems to be the right one. Why not just buy > it and spare yourself the misery of reading it on a computer? Yeah, reading a book on a computer can be painful, but the easy navigation and cut-paste somewhat makes up for it. As for buying: the cheapest used hardcover US Edition from Amazon is $120, for Very Good condition. New hardcover $150. So it's fairly pricey. New softcover is avail for around $22, but all of them are the Global Edition (which doesn't bother me, except many people say the print quality is low, sometimes tilted, and the book physically falls apart. And the errors). I might buy electronic access (6 months for $34) and just for fun try to crack the DRM of the VitalSource .vbk file. https://www.vitalsource.com/products/computer-systems-a-programmer-39-s-perspective-randal-e-bryant-david-r-v9780134092997 I found some funny cat and mouse threads where people have hacked and removed DRM from .vbk, but VitalSource comes right back with new DRM measures. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/7hxjgz/cracking_vitalsource_format_vbk_drm/ One thing I found that DRM makers do is somehow limit printing to PDF to one or ten pages at a time. Here's what the 3rd Edition .pdf should look like: http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/pieces/preface3e.pdf
