Did you notice the Mueller Report was released as image files, not text, so you can't search.

Images also make for a larger file overall.

Seems pretty petty but Barr seems to be ready to do anything he can to protect Trump from the justice system.
I hope he goes to jail for these stunts.

An OCR program could retranslate it back into searchable text.

It can't be tampered with on route or reproduced without showing the generation changes. The photo can also carry markings that identify it and can't be seen or changed.
