Jeff is absolute correct. One thing to keep in mind is that PDF files come in many flavors. Sometimes, conversion with say Kurzweil1000 or Openbook can be relatively successful, and other times not. Some files are created in such a way that the images simply cannot be recognized. No matter how you slice it, PDF is one of the most frustrating things to come along. It is true that Adobe has incorporated functionality that attempts to make PDF more accessible, but there are so many factors involved here that can render a PDF file completely incomprehensible that there is simply no good solution as yet. I recently worked with an individual who had to read some PDF files on the job. What we are doing is requesting that the documents be provided in MS Word format. Sometimes, that is all we can do.
