Thanks. So WebbIE is a suite of programmes. Please tell me what's there and why I may need them?

All WebbIE programs are available as part of the WebbIE installer at: http://download.webbie.org.uk/WebbIE3-Installer.msi For this program there is a Claro version, but this may not be the very latest version: http://www.accessiblepdf.com Alasdair Sent from my iPhone On 9 Apr 2009, at 10:21, "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:So, where is your programme, Alastair? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, April 08, 2009 7:59 PM (UK time), Alasdair King at alasdairking@xxxxxxxxx said:The WebbIE and Claro Accessible PDF programs are the same (I wrote them both), and both use the commandline PDFTOHTML program from http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/ (so they are both open-source). Credit where it is due!

The text files work great on the Stream as well. Unfortunately, I don't have the link anymore, but you could probably find it if you went to Google, or any other major search engine and just typed in PDF to TXT, which is the name of the program. It is a free download and I think that you run the file to install and then save to the desktop, or at least, that is what I did. To convert a file, you highlight the file without opening it, press the applications key to open the context menu and choose the sent to option. Then choose PDF to TXT from the list of programs. Then just follow the prompts. I have found it quite easy to use and the only files it will not work on are PDF Image only files. Feel free to Email me off list if you have any questions.
