How to use delivered documents

[Deutsche Version]

The staff of our document delivery service scans the documents you have ordered, delivers image files and places them on your personal account. Technically we support reading and printing of an article.
We don't offer OCR (Umwandlung der gescannten Bilddateien in Text) yet. But you can save/copy the delivered files to your personal workstation to process them with OCR software.

Important: Due to copyright reasons we have to delete each article 2 days after retrieval. Because of this you should read the whole article or download/save it the same day.

Delivery: You will get an E-Mail message together with a link to our server where we placed your article (if you didn't give an E-Mail address please use the function Account to get the link to the article).
For demonstration purposes we scanned Albert Einstein's article on the theory of relativity. We placed it on our server URL http://hedd.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/edd/docs/einstein/ . Each delivery message contains a similar URL.
You can choose between different formats to view the full text of an article.

"Page view" allows to view the article's full text with your Web browser. You don't need additional software to read the article. As an alternative we offer a PDF version of the article. You will find it under "Image files for printing". To open PDF files you need a PDF viewer program (e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader).
Save/Download the article for later viewing or printing. The PDF file is ideal for this. To save or download the PDF file most browser allow to use the right mouse button.
Save/Downlaod the article for later processing (e.g. OCR). Original scan files in TIFF format are ideal for this purpose. You will find TIFF files under "Image files for printing". You will get a directory in which each TIFF file contains one original article page. By using the right mouse button you can download/save each page. This procedure is time consuming. For this we offer as an alternative a link to the ZIP archive that contains all TIFF files in a zipped format.
