Jamal,
Will this utility convert a pdf file if it is secured? If not, do you know a
app that will?
Thanks, Rob!

FYI -- PDF2TXT
http://EmpowermentZone.com/p2tsetup.exe

converts PDFs to text *much* faster than Adobe Reader.  It can convert
any number of PDFs in a directory with a single command.  It can convert
PDFs that Adobe Reader either cannot or will not convert. <grin>

Ah, but perhaps Fox It reader hasn't got the code to tell screen readers
to
activate its virtual buffer. I found Adobe Reader 9 to be reasonably fast
at
opening PDF files and of course is accessible.
