Are they older PDFs (like pre-2012 or so)? Character recognition of scanned pages in the old days didn't work so well, and you'd often get an 8 where a B is supposed to be and shit like that as far as the PDF was concerned.

@flamewolf454 That sucks. I'm not surprised the issue still happens occasionally, but it seems like it's been rare to see for years now. Unfortunately, I don't know the solution to that searching-wise, other than sometimes you can get a feel for what general types of character-recognition errors were made in a particular file and try to search like "8evenstoln 8eovs" for "Berenstain Bears". I'll admit it's not an optimal solution.
