It is possible to get the text out of these PDF. In Preview do a select all and copy in Adobe Acrobat there is an option to save the text. Be aware that this is not perfect OCR. You will have to review the text carefully. What we find toratable in spoken OCR we do not in text files.

Hi folks,

Ok, it scans the pdf,but what does it do with the product of the scanning? I think that's what Keith wants to know. Can it be set up to put the results of the scanning into text edit.
I should also mention that as visiovoice will convert pdf to audio, if you aren't wanting a text or braille copy you can convert the pdf to audio if the spdf turns out reasonably accurate.
