Let me remind list members that for those graphical PDF documents, you can easily e-mail them as an attachment to conv...@robobraille.org. You will get back a text attachment of the document in readable form. If you send to that address and put doc in the subject line, the attached document will be in word format. You can also unload the PdF to www.robobraille.org and have it converted that way.

If the PDF file was scanned as an image rather than text I don't see any way of getting around it other than what you have done. I agree this can get very frustrating.

Hi all, Sometimes I can press application key on PDF and I enter on open with Adobe x and the file reads fine. Other times it states empty document or something like that. So my question is Is there a formatting issue that could be implemented on PDF file so that when one opens it the PDF reads fine with Adobe4x reader? I am on a web site and there is a PDF. When I open it states empty doc. I download it, scan with OpenBook and doc is mostly readable. I would love to instruct this web master to get PDF in accessible format but haven't a clue what to say. Any help appreciated.
