Got the game here in the German edition. Been playing around a bit with the manual in Photoshop Elements, but in the end decided to stop, too much hassle with the layout. Would be faster if I redid it all in Word. German Manual I have has rather small low resolution photos.
If I had high resolution scans of the images in the manual (600 dpi) I could put it together in a short time. Have a good scanner here, got the English text as a .txt file. Needs grammar checking and the full text is written with barely a period/paragraph now and then, annoying to read it, but just copy & paste and reading to do. Still faster than typing everything by myself or even translating it all back from German to English.
If I took the images I have, the quality would be pretty low. Wish somebody could send me that manual in English, then I could work on it, scan all the pages, clean the images, if necessary. In the end I'd could create a PDF from it again. I'd use a different font, since the one EA used is copy right protected, but still looks like Arial / Arial Bold. While at it I could also change the size of the pages, to standard size, would be nicer to print out. I don't like switching back and forth between game and PDF viewer.
