John,
We didn't upload original scans to commons. We worked on offline scans.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35668 is the bug for pdf export issued faced on Gujarati.

Oh.
What about the PDF of the Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji? The original scans?

John, this is related to the PDF export option in Wiki. The current
solution
won't support Indic scripts. There are several bugs related to this.
One
is this. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28206
An alternate solution (not a good solution) is using LibreOffice by
copying
text and format the text outside wiki. But I hope a solution will come
as we
move forward. I know Santhosh was working on this earlier. Do not know
its
status now.

Thanks once again Ashwin,
I have been considering to release the books officially, but unfortunately, PDF conversion is not working with Gujarati. The bug is filed a while ago, and I have been told that it may get quite a long time to fix the
issue.
Without having capability of exporting the page as PDF or preparing a book, I won't really feel to rush for the book release.
Regards, Dhaval

Hi Dhaval,
That is really very good to hear. We must maintain the highest standards in all things WikiSource. Unlike Wikipedia, errors cannot
be
allowed to co-exist. Well done to all Gujarati Wiki-Source-ians. Keep yup your great work.
I request that this book may be please be got "officially" released
to
gain publicity and attention to Gujarati WikiSource & the community.

Thanks Ashwin,
Not only this book, but the other one that is completed and the one underway, are all proof read against original. These are all
manually
typed and not OCR'd. Thanks to the lack of available OCR Tool/software
for
indic scripts.
If you or anybody else here is aware of good and reliable tool for Indic, especially Gujarati, script please share. That will help us upload book in remarkably less time than it has taken.
Best, Dhaval
