Joan, There is a program called "Text pal" that is used to convert PDF files. I don't have the link anymore but perhaps someone else on this list has it. Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: Joan Cummings To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 6:07 PM Subject: JAWS Friendly PDF Converter Hello: Could someone suggest a free (or inexpensive) program that will work with JAWS and Windows XP to convert PDF image files to text? I frequently get PDF file attachments that are fax messages that have been converted to PDF and e-mailed to me. When I open the PDF file I cannot read it because there is no sound. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Joan Cummings cummings@xxxxxxxxxxx
