I've always hated bloated PDFs that are essentially just images instead of text, but if you could release something as you describe, you could then split up the work between the whole world and have it properly retyped much faster. Maybe even get some translations out of it too. Perhaps the dreaded copyright laws may ruin this pipe dream, though.

You can already split up transcription work for printed public domain texts at the "Distributed proofreaders" website, which feeds Project Gutenberg -- Wikisource has a similar subproject, albeit one that's not quite as advanced. But neither of these will help for something as complex as this.
