Hi Zach, I don't think it'll work on all PDF files though, as some PDF's are saved as image files and not as text files. In that case, I think you would still need to run the PDF files through an OCR program such as Kurzweil or OpenBook. Just a guess based on my observation and experience. But you're right, I think, for the most part it'll work, for PDF files that aren't saved as image files.
