Subject: Some advice with making a pdf file readable with JAWS revisited
Hello again everyone,
Thanks to the great advice I got from Dave and Alex about using freedom
import printer, I can now read several pdf files I couldn't in the past. I
was so happy about learning about this that I shared this information with
several people. One of them didn't have open book and has Kurzweil. The
question is can you do something similar with Kurzweil? Thanks once again.
