Hi Geoff,

 

Forgive me, but wasn't your question," Could someone tell me
what software do I need to make PDF documents?"  (See below)

 

PDF files are not necessarily inaccessible with today's up
to date screen readers, especially with Adobe Reader 7
upwards.

 

George.

George, if I'm not mistaken, freeware PDF creators print a
bitmapped document to a file.  One has to use virtual
printing with OCR to get anything out of them.

 

The finance department were I work was sending documents all
over the place in bitmapped PDF's.  I pointed out to them
that they were an inaccessible, and more important, they
could not be searched.  Obviously, if someone was looking
for contact or billing material, they would have to read
entire documents from the screen or from printouts to find
anything.  They certainly were surprised to discover that
they also could not cut and paste boilerplate material.

 

Geoff

Hi,

Could someone tell me what software do I need to make PDF
documents?  I'm not sure you can do this with adobe or not
but I want something where it would be easy to make these
documents.
