Hi Don,
George is quite right as always.
However, sometimes, depending upon how the PDF files has been written,
when converting to "Plain Text" format, it can throw the formatting around
somewhat.
A slightly better but more tedious way of doing this is to open the PDF
file, Highlight all text Cut it and paste it into a blank word document.
This works unless the file that has been sent in PDF format has been
scanned into PDF.
Is this of any help.
If you want more detailed description, email me off site.
Thanks.
Yours Sincerely
Maurice Press

Subject: [duxuser] Converting PDF to Braille?
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.
