Yes, Derek, but a good, efficient braille producer can still
get at 90% of PDF files, even if they have to print and scan
them.
And what 99.99% of people still do not realise is that a PDF
is not actually a "File Type" such as you would get from
Word, Lotus Notes, Wordstar or whatever. It is a file
"FORMAT".
A PDF file could have been a Word 2003 file 3 seconds before
it became a PDF. And that same Word file is still a Word
file AFTER the PDF was made.
We fight this battle every day of the week in our braille
production company, and believe it or not, we win 90% of the
time, and get a NON PDF file.
George.

Hi George

machines.
I hope they don't say "pdf" I can't read tuch files and to
be honest
prefer hardcopy Braille.
I tend to send print booklets to RNIB for Braille
transcription.

Derek
