Oh, they did that for the manual for the previous version of the machine. 
They scanned it and packaged up the pile of GIFs into a PDF. Except some 
pages were missing. And some were out of order. And some were crooked and 
half cut off. And it was completely unsearchable because it was just GIFs. 
And all the examples were originally black-on-grey and in the B&W scan were 
nicely black on black. And it wasn't even the final manual, as there were 
hand-written notes in the margin like "I couldn't get the table to come out, 
so it's not in this draft."

It's not like you're going to go somewhere else for the manuals on how to 
program custom hardware. :-)
