It's disappointing that NZ Police chose to release these 247 pages of documents as an inaccessible (and unsearchable) image-based PDF. I see many of the pages are also sideways, making them difficult to view even on top of that.

Some documents, such as those on pages 32-35 and 39-44, are almost unreadable because Police's conversion of them into images of text has involved significant downscaling and lossy compression.

I would recommend you ask NZ Police to re-release these documents in an accessible format. Section 16(2) requires agencies to release information in the format preferred by the requester unless there is a good reason why it cannot. I have been advised by the Ombudsman that it is appropriate to use this section of the OIA to request that information be released in an accessible format.
