[access-uk] Re: looking for a accessible PDF reader, not adobe.

Hi Ray,

Trouble with cut and paste from PDF is particularly with Window-Eyes, =
not so
much with JAWS, you lose all formatting.  All blank lines go out the =
window,
because you are in browse mode.  Not to be recommended if you want some =
idea
of paragraphing.=20

All the best

Andy, just done some Googling on this question and haven't yet come up =
with
any freeware PDF to Word converters, though plenty of shareware ones, =
and of
course there is Nuance's offering, but that costs =A339.

Some of these can be found at:

http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/free-pdf-a-word.html

Might be free to download, but I think all of them are paid for in the =
end.
Also, if it is freeware you are after, beware getting ad ware or other
nasties along with it.

End by saying that for converting a few pages, with most PDF documents =
you
can simply highlight pages and copy and paste into MS Word.  Believe it =
or
not, the pasted text is screen reader readable text.  No idea how and =
why
this works, and some documents may not allow you to do this if they are
protected.  Just thought you'd like to know this dodge if you aren't =
already
aware of it.

| Hi Barrie,
|
| Why not Adobe?  It is perfectly accessible, and I don't know of any
others.
