I think you would find no matter what its security options are you can send
the pdf book to either Kerswell or Open book.  You might even be able to get
it to convert with Jamal's PDF2txt converter that you can find on the grab
bag.

Subject: Help with finding suitable accessible java learning material

Hello,
I know that questions like this can come up quite a bit, so if answers are
in the list archive I am sorry about that, and could you point me towards
the sort of dates these answers were given (to save me searching the entire
archive).

Basically I am going to need some books (or other suitable learning
material) for learning java (with the intent that at the end I will be
taking the SCJP test). I believe that the books that normally suggested by
those providing me with the training is the "head first" books. There will
also be the books for preparation for the SCJP exam itself as well.
I would like to know if people know where an accessible version can be got?
What I mean by accessible is that I can read it in some form (including
using a screen reader). I ask this as for the oracle part of the training
the book that I was given in PDF was not accessible due to its security
options.

Also if anyone has any tips that might be useful before I start to learn
java, please let me know. I will be mainly using Linux but could (if
necessary) use a windows machine.

Thanks for your time.

Michael Whapples
