Serious question given that "data" is sometimes released from the govt in tabular format in PDF:

How can you (or we) ensure your FOIA request for code isn't responded to with a PDF of code?

Honestly, I'll take it. More than likely it will be something on a CD or DVD, though. And if I get a PDF of 300kloc, then it's an indicator that I've hit pay dirt, and they don't want me to see something, or are very reluctant to give it up.

That's what OCR is for right.
