Thank you for that review. I was wondering if someone would download and come
back to the list about it. Had begun to worry in case it was just SPAM on my
own PC but obviously others downloaded it too.

Hi,
I have just installed this software and from what I seen so far it doesn't
seem accessible at all. Granted, I haven't actually tried to convert a file,
but I'm not even sure how to do it.
When the software installed it wasn't very visible to jaws. Even when in the
window, pressing insert+t did not read the title window. Jaws cursor did see a
dialog, which told me that it was a trial version and that I had 10 conversions
left and to "click here" to register. When I did click (it was very hard to
focus the jaws cursor to that point( it just came with several edit fields,
which weren't read by jaws, not even the jaws cursor, so I gave up for now. I
couldn't even close the software. Alt+f4 did not work and not even jaws cursor
could see any type of close button, so the only way I could close it was by
terminating the process from the task manager.
Potentially this seems like the great tool, but if we're not able to use it
not much good. I do admit though that as yet I haven't tested this with any
other screenreader. It would be useful if anyone else has tried this yet and
had different or better luck with this, either with jaws or of course any other
screenreader.

todays give away of the day is a tool which can convert pdf files in to
editable ms Word documents, html, and otehr formats. haven't tested he
application for accessibility myself yet but to get your hands on something
that usually costs $30 it's gotta be worth a try.
