Ann,
 
Did they say why this was preferable to saving it as a text file from
within Acrobat reader?
 
thanks.

        Hi chip,
        I got this info from another list and did not use it because I
have no real need but ...
        
        Someone recommends using textpal to convert PDF files.  You can
find it on Google.

                Well, one thing you can do with Adobe reader 8 is to use
the file menu "save as text" option.  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.

                        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. I am getting more and more frustrated
with adobe an figured I would look around for alternatives to being able
to read pdf document without having to  download the bloat ware which is
Adobe acrobat reader 8.1.12.  if any one can advise on the alternatives
I would appreciate it.
