I usually request Microsoft Word files and those should be more accessible
with the 6.1 upgrade!

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.

Hello All:
I don't know if this will help, but both of the latest versions of
Kurzweil
and Open Book have the capability to convert .pdf files into text. If
you
have any questions about this, contact me off list.
