Thanks Diana.
That is clearly the best option.
The technique I mentioned is useful in the situation where there is not
an option to get a .brf file already in UEB.
All the best,

Here is another possible option, particularly if the file doesn't need any more
fixing once downloaded. In Bookshare itself, from within your account
preferences, you can set UEB as your braille code and embossable braille as
your choices before you download the files. I think this gives you 25 lines per
page and 40 characters per line. If braille page and print pagination etc. is
set correctly in the original file, it will retain this formatting when
embossed. Also, before bringing the file into DBT for embossing, in order for
this to work, under the Global Menu, you must set your brf importer to bring in
the file without interpretation.

Hello Laura and all.
Here is something you can do if you are using DBT 11.3 or higher. When you open
the .brf file, change the setting for Import filter to Formatted Pre-UEB to
Print. (just below the item Formatted braille. In the same dialog, choose a
UEB-based template, such as English (UEB) - BANA. That gives you a print
version of the file, which will give you UEB when you translate to braille.
In adition, when you open a .brf file this way, the importer does its best to
figure out the underlying format, to give the equivalent format when you
translate to braille, now UEB. However, you will probably still find some
things that need adjusting.
All the best,
Caryn
