I suspect that the original PDF may not actually qualify as fair use. However I think the basis for the question is that they don't want to pay for an accessible copy from which an equivalent "fair use" extract can be taken, and they don't want to pay to have someone re-key the PDF extract. Even to the extent that fair use is valid, someone has to buy or pay public lending right fees, for the original from which the copies were made. (In the case of lending, or machine readable copies, there may he contract restrictions, as well as copyright ones.)
