Hi Marie,
I had a similar problem. I downloaded version 7 of Acrobat Reader but still
couldn't save a PDF file as text. My solution was to make a recording of
Window[Eyes reading the file, using Sound Forge. However, in your situation,
I would hope the manufacturer of the product you have purchased will be
willing to supply a text copy of the manual, if you write to them.
Good luck.
Robert.

Subject: [access-uk] converting pdf files to text
New to this game, downloaded the owner's manual from Yamaha for my new
amplifier-home cinema system.
The save to to text was unavailable in my version of acrobat reader, v.5,
downloaded v.7 full thinking it would have all features for
accessibility,save to text still not available.
Tried to be crafty and opened or tried to open a page from the pdf file
with Fine Reader, can't be done, I'm asked to provide a password.
I cannot scan the printed manual I got with the set because the pages are
so thin that the scanner gets confused by what it can see on the other
side of the page.
What's my next move? would love to be able to emboss the manual.
Would Yamaha give me the password required?
Do I have to ask them or the people who produced the file?
Any help gratefully received,
Cheers now,
Marie
