Structural Composition
- For Geʽez text, OCR is error-prone; prefer PDFs that explicitly state they include corrected transcriptions or high-quality images.

- Check Page 1: Does it start with "በስመ አብ ወወልድ ወመንፈስ ቅዱስ..." (In the name of the Father...)? If yes, good. If it starts mid-prayer, delete it.
- Check Page 50-60: Look for the prayer for the 5th day of the month (ዘመድረክ). Is the text sharp? Can you see the diacritical marks (dots above/below letters)?
- Check the file size: A "fixed" PDF is usually between 15 MB and 45 MB. Files under 2 MB are usually just corrupted scraps or text-only (missing the Geez font).
- Missing pages or sections.
- Poor OCR (optical character recognition) leading to incorrect Ge’ez characters.
- Misaligned Amharic translations.
- Corrupted file formats.
- Incomplete chanting notations (e.g., melekets or musical accents).
- Font Encoding: Early digital documents often used custom encodings that did not map to Unicode standards. If a user did not have the specific font installed, the text appeared as gibberish or "mojibake."
- Rendering Issues: Complex diacritical marks (like the hulet neteb or arNET) often render incorrectly in standard PDF readers if the software does not fully support the font embedding.
