Hi Russ,
you can press command-shift-a to select all the text and paste it
into a text edit window and save it as text.

Hi Marty,
Well, I'm having quite a few problems with PDFs here. There's an
iMac user's manual that came with my system. I can use command
right arrow to move to the next page, but the text won't read unless
i press VO left arrow, and then VO right arrow. Then, sometimes
I'll receive an error message that there was a problem, and Preview
needs to close, and I have a choice to "Send report to Apple". This
is beginning to resemble another OS that we won't mention here!
<grin> Okay, okay, before you guys jump all over me, I was just
kidding... sort of! <smile>

Hi Russell, try going to the outline table, and finding what you
want, and interacting with the table, then vo left arrowing to the
text, and see if it reads that way. Command right and left arrows,
will take you to the next and previous pages.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to read the VO Getting Started manual in PDF format. I
don't want to read the document from start to finish, but rather,
to go to pages that are relevant to what I'm doing at the time.
So, I look at the table of contents, find the page I want to go
to, press command option G and then type in the page number and
press return. I then find it difficult to locate the document.
Sometimes I VO right or left arrow and sometimes magically land in
the document on the page I chose, but other times I'm placed in
the document, but at the beginning. Sometimes I need to tab or
shift tab to find the text of the document.
When I do find the page I want, I read for a bit and then it gets
to the end of the page, and I can't figure out how to move to the
next page, so I end up back in the table of contents. Does anyone
have any tips to make reading PDF files a bit easier?
Thanks,
Russell
