Londa, thank you. This does work, but Control-A only selects a page at a time. For a long book, this could be time-consuming. Any thoughts on selecting the entire document? Thanks. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Londa Peterson Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 7:32 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Saving PDF Files to Text Hi Laura, The easiest way to do this would be to open the file with JAWS running. Press control-A for select all. Copy to the clipboard. Then open a file in notepad, Word, etc., and paste. You should get exactly what's in the virtual viewer. This will work with JAWS 7 or 8 or earlier. If you're using JAWS 9, there is one more step you need to do. Let me know if that's the case. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Lora Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2008 8:34 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Saving PDF Files to Text Good Morning, I'd like to save a PDF file to text, but I want to save it the way JAWS sees it when I choose to open the file and read it "in the order of the raw print stream." Is there a way to do this? Even when I have the file open like that, when I choose to save to text, I get the standard reading order, which is incorrect, and presents the text in a seriously garbled fashion. Thanks.
