You'll loose the page numbering, and the formatting option information (such as bolding etc.), but if all you want is the basic information, I do this a lot and then am able to use notepad, my victor reader stream, etc. to read the resulting text file. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of gary melconian Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 6:41 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: regarding if anyone has used foxit pdf reader with jaws 9 and if there are any alternatives to adobe acrobat reader for pdf documents hello has anyone used fox it pdf reader withJAWS. How useable is it and how well does it work with pdf documents. I saw very good reviews on CNET and that is why I figured I would ask about it on the list.
