There is a way: Open your pdf in adobe, select file, select "save as". When the save as window opens, go to the bottom and open the "save as type" box. You can select .htm/.html, .doc, 2 .txt types, .rtf, and other file formats. I have done this a lot, and it usually works well. You will use a lot of formatting, and some information that may be of a graphic nature or in text boxes, but you will get a document that you can edit and import into Duxbury. Hope this helps.

I've downloaded a rather large user's manual in PDF format but would like to have it in Braille. Is there some kind of plug-in to convert the PDF file to word? Or even Duxbury? Thanks for any suggestions, and I know I could convert it to text and then bring it into word, but it sounds like a whole lot of formatting.
