Is there a way to easily determine whether a pdf file is an image or text? I have Finereader and should try it one day and learn how to use it in the event I want a braille version.

Ann,

It works as long as the graphic isn't hand written.

If you have Kurzweil and can open it in there, then save it as a word document, you can translate in Duxbury. I'm not sure if that words with a pdf that is a graphic.

 If it is an image of text, is there a way to handle it?



 Thanks,

You will need to open the file in Adobe Reader, and provided the text is not an image of text, save it as Text.



 You will then be able to open the .txt file in DBT or Word.

 Hi,

 I'm using db 10.7 and was wondering how can I emboss a pdf to Braille?

 Thank you.
