Can somebody tell me if Abby FineReader 9.0 professional Edition is friendly to ScreenReader' users? especifically with JAWS 9.0 I am trying to improve my skills using this software. So, I already read the usersguide, but seems the experience for JAWS users is really different. First of all, some questions: 1. What is the main difference between a pdf or pdf-a? 2. how to select between them (pdf or pdf-a) using AbbyFineReader? 3. pdf-a is the only one result digitalizing with AbbyFineReader? For unknown reasons, I can't modify documents in pdf-a format with AdobeAcrobat8Pro, and most of its editing tools are disabled. I have an HP GetScann 2400 scanner, OpenBook 7.0, OmniPage15, AbbyFineReader9.0ProfesionalEdition & AdobeAcrobat8.0Pro. running on this PC. Why? I use OpenBook to know quickly which is the contend in a print document because, both OmniPage & AbbyFineReader are to slow. Because OpenBokk doesn't allow me to save the document on a pdf format, and I need to proof read it keeping the exact view, I.d prefer to use AbbyFineReader to digitalize to pdf format. I failed using the OCR tool, I couldn't save my proofread work, also I couldn't read the document before save it to word or to pdf format. Thanks a lot for any help! Esperanza
