The requestor should not bear the burden for scanning in the documents. The state needs a digital copy no matter what. They should bear the cost of obtaining that. The requester should bear the burden of making a copy of the digital document. 29000 pages--even at 2MB/page--would require < 64GB of storage. So, about 15USD for a thumb drive.
Or put the document on the website where it belongs, and eat the cost of storage and data transfer just like you do with all your other state-run websites.

Furthermore even if they did scan it and kept the digital data around, if they only did it because of the request and would not otherwise that’s still a cost of fulfilling the request. > The state needs a digital copy no matter what. That obviously is not the case since they do not have one.
