  Ann,

  Did they say why this was preferable to saving it as a text file from within 
Acrobat reader?

  thanks.

  Chip

    Hi chip,
    I got this info from another list and did not use it because I have no real 
need but ...
    Someone recommends using textpal to convert PDF files.  You can find it on 
Google.

      Well, one thing you can do with Adobe reader 8 is to use the file menu 
"save as text" option.  You'll loose the page numbering, and the formatting 
option information (such as bolding etc.), but if all you want is the basic 
information, I do this a lot and then am able to use notepad, my victor reader 
stream, etc. to read the resulting text file.

      hth,

      Chip

        hello has anyone used fox it pdf reader withJAWS. How useable is it and 
how well does it work with pdf documents.  I saw very good reviews on CNET and 
that is why I figured I would ask about it on the list. I am getting more and 
more frustrated with adobe an figured I would look around for alternatives to 
being able to read pdf document without having to  download the bloat ware 
which is Adobe acrobat reader 8.1.12.  if any one can advise on the 
alternatives I would appreciate it.
