I'm still looking for costless ways <smile> On May 30, 2009, at 11:06 AM, Greg Kearney wrote: Accually there are ways to do this. 1. Obtain a copy of Acrobat Professional it has an OCR option in it. So you tell it to OCR the document and then export the document as a text file. Acrobat Professional is not the most VoiceOver friendly application there ever was but these functions are reached by the menus so it should work OK. 2. Print out the document and then use a scanner and ORC program to generate a text file from the scans. Alternately some ORC programs can read PDF files directly. Hope this helps.
