My name is Lisa. I teach Braille in Guam with the possibility of moving to Saipan. I have a Braillenote BT 18 running Keysoft 6.11. I do not have a computer. : I would like to know how I can access PDF files using the Braillenote. I realize the Braillenote will not allow the user to open these types of files. Is it possible to find a Web site that will convert these files for free from PDF to text? : After conducting several Google searches the results I have discovered are the following: : : 1. Special software has to be loaded onto the Braillenote which I realize is not possible for the Braillenote to handle. : : 2. The PDF document has to be scanned in why I'm not sure. : : 3. The special software that is to be downloaded has to be purchased. I see no point in purchasing software that the Braillenote will not be able to handle. : : 4. Conversion appears not to be an option without the special software. : : : : : Any ideas? Thank you! This is for a job application. I have spoken with the HR staff and converting the document to HTML format is not a possibility for security reasons. I also suggested having the document emailed to me as Microsoft Word files and that's not an option because of security reasons. : : I'm finding the problem with PDF file inaccessibility increasing. Thanks for your time and your assistance. I look forward to receiving responses. : : Lisa : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : __________ NOD32 1.1617 (20060623) Information __________ : : This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. : http://www.eset.com : : ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
