Brenda,
If the document contains actual text and the publisher hasn't explicitly
banned screen reader access, then you should be able to read it with
Adobe Reader. Window-Eyes itself will not disassemble the PDF into other
formats.

Steve

Hi List,
I have a question about a pdf file that I want to purchase for work. I
don't want to spend $50 and find it unusuable.
The Book of Style for Medical Transcription, 3rd edition, is available
in locked .pdf format for visually impaired MTs. I can purchase the book
now in .pdf format on CD. Some screen readers require conversion of this
.pdf file to text format in order to display its contents.
Is Window-Eyes one of these or will a .pdf work as is. They do not say
if this pdf file was scanned as text or not. There is free conversion
softwar that I can download. This program will enable conversion of the
.pdf file to a .txt file. if this conversion software can convert the
pdf, is this function already contained in W-E?
Thanks for any input.
Brenda
Thanks
Brenda
