I will finally be starting work on scanning this 2 volume book on Dar al Ulum Deoband:

Its about 900 pages and I'm thinking of doing 20 pages a day which will take about 45 days, so inshaAllah will try to devote my free time to the scanning. Its an amazing store house of knowledge regarding the blessed School chronicling many of its achievements including its services to the ummah as you will inshaAllah find out once its completed.

It was commissioned by the Shura of Deoband under the supervision of Qari Tayyib

So you can just imagine how authentic its gonna be

How I wish to do it and other info:

1. It will be in searchable PDF format, gray-scale mode

2. I think once complete the book will be of no use anymore as I will be removing all the pages one by one and then scan it, its a hard-cover.
3. This book as far as I know is out of print [the English edition of it] and only available in the bookstore managed by Deoband. Don't know how many copies are even there yet.
4. The book I have with me which I will be scanning was printed in 1980, a 32 year old copy.

What I need:

1. Members who can select the text from the PDF file and create it in word format and also index it so that it becomes searchable through Google.
2. Ways to make the process better and easier, scanning as well as indexing.

And most importantly,

3. I have done a cursory search through Google and not found this book scanned before, yet, can anybody do a recheck please before I start?
