Oh, Arghhhh! There was apparently an article which I never read that indicated 
that some publishers (small ones) would submit their books in pdf format and 
that they would need to be proofread. The person who asked the question had 
read this article. It is apparently an article on why volunteers are still an 
integral part of Bookshare. So this person was wondering how one would 
proofread such a file. I don't guess I completely understood the question. 
Sorry to cause all this trouble, for I know pretty much the rules governing 
volunteering at Bookshare; I just haven't had the time to do it much lately.
Thanks for all your help folks. *smile*
