I found that pdftotex can get the text from some pdf files, and I could also access some other pdf files better using Advanced PDF Password Recovery Pro, then save the text with Adobe Reader, but what I personally need is a simple pdf reader for opening and reading pdf files faster.

It can convertany number of PDFs in a directory with a single command. It can convertPDFs that Adobe Reader either cannot or will not convert. <grin> Jamal On Fri, 19 Dec 2008, Chris Hallsworth wrote:Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:46:43 -0000 From: Chris Hallsworth <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: off topic - accessibilityAh, but perhaps Fox It reader hasn't got the code to tell screen readers to activate its virtual buffer.
