Hi Rich,

PDF files are a general nightmare. There are various existing methods of conerting them to text, if in fact the author has allowed this. Check with the screen reader you are using. Some have a facility built in or at least some means of accessing them.

If you require serious levels of access to PDF files, you can get software from Adobe which at least allows fuller access. However, the issue still remains that if an author has "locked" the file, you cannot convert it to anything. (Well not legally anyway)

rich kurlander here my question is is there a way that a pdf file can be brailled if you put it in duxbury? if not can it be considered for the next release?
