Issue with a suggested fix #350

At some point or another I lost the URL to a brew I made. Now that I want to go back and edit it, I cannot for the life of me find the thing to do so! That being said, I have a copy of the brew printed to PDF, and that made me wonder if at some point it may be possible to implement a way to upload a PDF and place the information into a brew.

I'd simply copy-paste it and reorganize it to the look it had, however that does not work well as copy pasting adds an extra character between every single letter. Would be faster to simply retype the whole thing!

In regards to your lost brew, there are many ways to recover it.

Adding a feature of parsing a PDF would be incredibly difficult, rarely used, and often misused by users trying to upload a PDF not created by the site expecting it to work.
