hi. is your pdf file a scann emage pdf (which mean is an scann emage safe as pdf instead)? cause if it is a scann file, any screen reader won't read it unless you open with some kind of scann software like open book etc. 7 out of 10 time if it is a pdf document from a journal or database, you will most likely have a scann emage pdf format instead of the proper pdf format. hope its help cheers On 01/10/2008, InthaneElf <inthaneelf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > have you tried PDF to txt? its got a link on my grab bag site (URL under my > name) > > HTH, > inthane > proprietor, The Grab Bag, > for blind computer users and programmers > http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com > Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises > "own the might and majesty of a Alacorn!" > www.alacorncomputer.com > Owner: Agemtree > "merchants in fine facetted and cabochon gemstones" > www.agemtree.com > operator: Fruit Basket Demo Sight, where you can find a similar project done > in several programming languages, along with its source code, so you can > decide what language is right for you > http://fruitbasketdemo.alacorncomputer.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Kristoffer Gustafsson > To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 12:35 PM > Subject: problem with pdf file > > > Hello! > I'm trying to convert a pdf file to text since I need to read it. > It is head first c#. > however, I only get a few pages with text pal. the contents. > Please. somebody. help > /Kristoffer __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
