Online info change or do I need a new plan for getting the info?

[Morich]

It seems things are changing way too fast for me to keep up!
We have the online info for decoding the wire and circuit ID from Winnebago. It was a big hit when they stopped posting drawings for the 12V coach side of things after the 2010 year but I work around that.
But now they seem to have degraded the wire ID chart at some point in the Jan-Feb time frame??
This is the list I've used to sort info on drawings or wire ID:

https://www.winnebago.com/Files/Files/Winnebago/Resources/Diagram/electrical_guide.pdf

But now it seems I have lost some of the handy info! I am used to using "Ctrl+F" to search PDF files. That no longer works for this chart even though it still shows as PDF.
Then the problem is compounded by what has to be sloppy work. Winn has used the letter system to indicate how far out on a circuit any specific ID would be. Single letters are the bigger, more important items that are closest to the supply or battery.

When making the change, they also dropped the first page of info where the most important wires are located!

Looking for some thoughts from folks more inclined to knowing the computer world

!
Is there a new way to search PDF files that I need to know about? Is this some new form of listing that I have missed or is it just part of a gradual degrading of the online info?
I'm pretty sure dropping the first page is just sloppy but is it part of a management decision or just not paying attention? Or have they just posted a picture and not a real PDF and that makes it no longer searchable?

Anybody got inside info on what is up?

Yeah, each page is an image and it's not treated as text, but it's still a proper PDF. It has to be run through an OCR engine to convert the image to searchable text. Enclosed is your file OCR'd by PDFElement on my Mac.

Good deal, that seems to help with the search! Now the remaining question might be who made the big change from the old list to the new and messed it up so much!
I can live without the first page but being able to search is a biggie for saving time when looking for things that were not always sure to be the correct word.
Things like seat or chair? Lots of the small parts of an RV have some names that are not often used in the normal work we do on them!
Thanks for the heads up!

Whatever the programmer decides he has no use for he leaves out.
The only way to get something back is call W customer support.

You've been our 'go-to' for years on accessing these files / diagrams, etc. Hoping you figure this out - we still need you, and thanks!!

Looking at this a bit closer, I can see the faint holes that came from the three hole binder and that the document creator was a Konica Minolta copier. So, instead of the PDF being generated from the creating application (like Adobe FrameMaker or the like), someone scanned the document that already been printed.
Kind of bush league, but explains the end result.

Getting good eyes on a project seems to be a missing element in a lot of places!
The person who laid it on the copier skipped page one. Okay, we all make mistakes.
But then is there nobody checking the work before it is posted or giving any thought to how it will be used?
Is there anybody at any level actually doing real work like READING what they print?
Like this?
Is this something any company should want their logo on and sent out for the customers to use?

Even my "el cheapo " computer can tell me when I misspell things!
But does anybody who cares even look?

If it were only Winnebago, I would not be that concerned. But as far as I can tell there is nobody at any level willing to do any real thinking and really try to manage anything!
Instead of firing the bottom level, I think we need to fire the people making the plan!
