Kenneth, if a file is corrupted all pages beyond a certain point will be
missing. The book will need to be rescanned, at least from the corruption
point onward.
It is relatively rare to have a file corrupted by the Bookshare processor.
One of the few cases I know was the recent Without Remorse by Tom Clancy.
The Brf file was corrupted/truncated, but the Daisy was complete.
I believe staff went back to the master file, cleaned up the file at the
corruption point and recreated the record.
If a file is corrupted by the submitter or the reviewer, the integrity
checks I have outlined should find the problem. Naturally, it is a good
idea to perform a final check for document completion just prior to final
post-review submission. That is: do all the edits you need and close the
file in its final format. Transfer it to your PC if you have been using a
notetaker for editing. Now open the file on the PC, spot check it and
check that the document continues to its bitter end. Leave the file open.
Upload and complete the acceptance form. Close the file.
Hope this helps.

But what happens if there is a corrupted file; how will one know what
pages are missing if the page numbers have been stripped.

Kenneth, this topic has been discussed already:
1. Page numbers and headers may be stripped by the reviewer only after
performing a thorough page integrity checked, that is after the reviewer
has determined that there are no missing nor duplicated pages, nor
spurious blank pages.
If headers and page numbers are removed before performing the page
integrity check, you are left without a verifiable audit trail.
2. If the book contains an alphabetic index, you may want to consider
stripping headers, but leaving page numbers intact. In this situation
you may actually want to correct page numbers that have been corrupted.
3. As the bookshare automated stripper my not leave page numbers in
anyway, you may want to attempt to defeat it by not leaving a blank line
between the page number and the bodytext, in any book where you believe
page numbers are of value to the reader.
Regards,
Guido

[bksvol-discuss] Re: header stripping
The stripping of page numbers raises some interesting questions. First,
we
are required to supply the indices of books, but they are not of much
value
if we can't determine the location of a given page. Second, with page
numbers stripped, how do we know if there are omitted or lost pages?
