I'm glad admin posted that second screenshot, I was able to make out a couple more words. It looks like I've got maybe 40% deciphered.


For those interested, I'm posting my results. The only layered format I can save is pdn, and I figured that wouldn't be wanted here, so I'm uploading 3 tif files (the forum doesn't allow tif uploads, so they're in a zip).

They're labeled, so you can re-stack them together. You'll also want to add an additional layer at the very bottom with a blank white background. The top layer should be text over a transparency--hopefully that was preserved.

(Top layer: deciphered text overlay -- 2nd layer: sharpened resume -- 3rd layer: unmodified resume -- 4th layer: white background so you can easily read the text overlay if you want to)


As I was doing this, it became apparent that the resume's letter and word spacing is extremely strange. I had to resize/reshape my text overlay word-by-word to make it fit, even in places where I was 100% confident that I had the correct words. I don't know if Microsoft Word (which the resume was created in) does this automatically, and I don't have it installed to test.


For font, I used Courier New, 7pt, bold.


A huge thanks and credit go to admin, whose images (both of them) I used in those files.


I'm confident in much of the text I deciphered, but a few parts were somewhat less certain, including several of the numbers.


If anyone ends up working on this in the future, please share your results!


Thanks again to those who attempted this.
