I'd volunteer to do it, but I suspect that just the prospect of trying to get such a thing through the approvals process would prevent C7 from doing it, even with a £0 labour cost.

I wish PDFs had a kind of "tagged smart search" such that when you type in a term, for example "combat", it prefers chapters, sections, and tables named "combat", rather than weighting every appearance of the word equally.

And/or a more deeply nested TOC, with every table listed and flagged as such. That's something I would volunteer to work on.

Then (as long as I'm dreaming) have an option to base text search off that TOC, rather than on the raw text. That would solve the first problem, too.

If that happend, would be great. As a big company they should start to think their products over all kinds of platforms, its the world's tendencies.
