Yes, when it comes to scanned images, the use of the PDF format
definitely has its limitations. If you wish to view and search scanned
documents the DjVu format is arguably superior:

DjVu Org :: home page
http://djvu.org/

DjVu viewers are freely available for all major operating systems:

DjVu Org :: downloads (see link to DjVuLibre & DjView)
http://djvu.org/resources/


As for Macdonell and Whitney -- and much else besides, incl. Apte,
Böhtlingk, and M-W -- you will find DjVu scans here: 

Internet Archive :: Text Archive
http://www.archive.org/details/texts


And for the impatient ;)

Macdonell (3rd edn, 1926):

Whitney (1879 x2):

http://www.archive.org/details/sanskritgrammari00whitrich

Ibid. (1896):

http://www.archive.org/details/sanskritgrammari00whit

Ibid. (1950):

To download any of these versions please follow the `All Files: HTTP'
link within the `View the book' section on the top left of each page.
The DjVu files have `*.djvu' filename extensions.




Kind regards,

 Richard
