Hi Lisa, I had a scary experience with adobe. I downloaded their 5.0 version, which they said was free, but when I opened it to use it I got a message informing me that if I used it without paying for it, that would be considered as agreement and I might "encounter difficulties". Needless to say, I deleted it!!!

Does anyone know of any free programs that convert PDF files into text files? I know that adobe has an e-mail address where you can send pdf files and they will be sent back to you in text format. However, everytime I try, it gives me a failed delivery response. I also know that the new version has some accessibility features but I have an old version of Jaws so I'm not sure if it will work or not. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Lisa
