disclosure could have an adverse impact on the Port.
3. Personal information might be revealed that is otherwise not subject to public disclosure
under RCW ch. 42.56.
4. The extent of disclosure might allow a third party to argue that the Port has waived the
privilege for other non-disclosed documents.

6. The disclosure reveals information on appraisals of property the Port is considering
purchasing or selling.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
