Hello Russ, I think jamal Masrui has written a program to do that, called something like pdf converter, but I don't have a website for download at hand.
It's said to work with jaws and the program is free though. If you have Kurzweil or Openbook, you can also open the file with one of those programs and save it as a word document. In Kurzweil 1000 versions 10 and 11, you can just select the file and open it with kurzweil via the applications menu, but I cannot recall the procedure with openbook, although it is possible.

Otherwise, you will need a piece of software such as pdf converter, a product sold by Nuance. I am sure there are other suggestions that others will have. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Russ Hubley Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 6:09 AM To: Jaws users Subject: [JAWS-Users] Converting a PDF file into Word Hi Everyone, I recently downloaded an owner's manual.
