John, This is not what she is looking for. She needs a program with OCR capability. Adobe is free and can convert a PDF file to a plain text file but she has graphic images that first need to be converted to recognizable characters. OpenBook does this via the Freedom Import Printer but she asked for something inexpensive and OpenBook is not that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Ramsey" <stephnjohnny211@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 5:28 PM Subject: RE: JAWS Friendly PFD Converter There is a JFW friendly program called PDF to txt at blindprogramming.com Take care, John -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Cummings Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 5:41 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: JAWS Friendly PFD 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.
