Re: regarding the data bank of test PDF files (pdfs_202011) . . .

Hi Albretch,
  Thank you for the pointer.  The PDFs that I packaged there were gathered
from various bug trackers [1] and [2].  I'm not necessarily against
gathering the Regents exams, but they would represent a different purpose.

        Best,

               Tim
