Hello! Thanks Andre for your tip. I really wants a program to convert pdf to html and i can not find this in adobe reader 9.1. /Anders. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] För Andre van Deventer Skickat: den 20 augusti 2009 10:35 Till: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Ämne: [duxuser] Re: Converting PDF to Braille? I use a programme called PDF Professional from Scansoft. It can convert pdf documents to word and other formats while keeping the original formatting. It's not a free programme but well worth the money.

Thomas: Many producers of PDF documents, add layers of protection, to prevent you from saving their PDF documents to other formats, in order to protect their copyright materials and to stop pirate copying. In that case, the only way, if the producers of the PDF material allow you to do so, would be to print the document and then scan the resulting hardcopy, using OCR software, convert the file to Word format, for example, then import the .doc file into DBT. Not environmentally-friendly but, needs must when the devil drives. sincerely: Dave Durber ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Poulk <mailto:Poulk@xxxxxxxxxx> To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 12:18 PM Subject: [duxuser] Re: Converting PDF to Braille? 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. No virus found in this incoming message.
