Dear Syhmetta:
I do have a PDF of this book, if you send me your email I can send it to you via wetransfers, please let me know. Venerable Anuruddha was my teacher in Hong Kong, the book is very hard to get!
Sincerely,
Khanti

I have added an invisible text layer, so now you can search for any word in the dictionary:

Re: Dictionary of Pali Idioms
it says it won't download because that pdf file is more than 500MB.
How in the world can a text dictionary be that big?
The entire PED in html text source is only a few megabytes.

Re: Dictionary of Pali Idioms
Frank, the size is so big, probable, because it is not text but images. Usually, in these type of scanned documents, each page is stored as a separate image inside the pdf. The 500 MB limit and the warning is only for the preview function.frank k wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 4:18 pm it says it won't download because that pdf file is more than 500MB.

OK, for your convenience, I have added a compressed version:

Re: Dictionary of Pali Idioms
Thanks. What's on the invisible text layer? If it was able to OCR a decent version of the image files with searchable text, can we have a version of just the text conversion, without images?

Re: Dictionary of Pali Idioms
Thanks! how well does searching really work with that pdf? Very few diacritical symbols seem to get recognized by the OCR.

Re: Dictionary of Pali Idioms
You are welcome.
The primary idea is to make the text searchable by English words. I guess most Pali words can also be found.
