AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges of editing and hosting PDF files online. Standard image hosting services like Flickr and ImageShack do not support PDF uploads, leading to the suggestion of converting PDF pages to image files, which limits editing capabilities. Google Docs is mentioned as a potential solution for hosting and annotating PDFs, but it has limitations in editing compared to MS Word. Users are seeking a hosting service that includes a built-in PDF editor to facilitate easier editing and sharing of PDF content. The conversation highlights the need for better tools for managing and editing PDF files online.

hey everyone,

i have an ebook in pdf form and wanted some help with some of the portions there. online hosting services like flickr and imageshack don't allow uploading of pdf pages. while reading the book i can annotate, highlight etc. the only option I'm left with is to convert pdf pages to image files and then upload them and provide direct link then. but this way i won't be able to edit anything once the conversion is done. is there some service you know of which allow uploading of pdf pages? any ideas, please.

I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
