the only way I can see this working would be to use one of those paid for PDF to word converters, I think that might preserve your links if you have a .pdf document with links that you don't mind me seeing I have one, and can try it for you (picked it up off give away of the day, used it once, and it sits here until I need it again or I reload, so its a freebee) laters, inthane Moderator, Blind Access Help Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises Specialists in customized computers and peripherals - own the might and majesty of a Alacorn! www.alacorncomputer.com proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Homme, James To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 11, 2011 5:04 AM Subject: Convert PDF To Text And Keep Links Hi, Whenever I've saved a PDF as a text file, if the links are link text, rather than web addresses, they get lost. Does anyone know of a way to save a PDF to some other format and preserve the links? Thanks. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.
