Hello Gerald,
 
Try this pdf to text converter.  It is a freeware product.
 
It's cool and I love it.  It is at least 20 times as fast as with the
Freedom Scientific printer.
 
You can download and install it to your computer from:

I hope this helps.

Subject: Converting PDF Document Revisited


 
Here we go again.    I received an email attachment that contained a PDF
file, but when I tried to open it using Adobe Reader X, I got the dreaded
empty document message, which means that Adobe Reader was unable to convert
it to text.  So I selected Freedom Import Printer from the Print menu to
scan the document with Open Book.  I have both Open Book 7.0.2 and the demo
version of Open Book 9 installed on my computer.  But when I selected OB
7.0.2 to scan the document, I got an "unknown file type" error message when
OB 7 attempted to open the file.  Is there any easy way to fix this problem
without removing both OB 7 and OB 9 and reinstalling OB 7?  If not, is there
any other way to convert this document into a text format that is readable
by JAWS?  Someone mentioned something called Image Writer, but I can't find
it on my computer, so I assume that it is either not available or not
enabled.   I am running JAWS 9 with XP Pro.  Thanks for any help.
 
Gerald
