Sometimes you can get around this by saving in pdf, closing the document,
and then reopen it. Often it is now available to be saved in text format.

That doesn't work on many Adobe docs, because they are protected. You have
to purchase the pro version of Adobe reader to save in alternative formats.

while the file is open there press, alt f, down arrow to other and enter,
then tab to save as.txt or might be *accessible.txt
give it a file name and tab to ok, it should be in your documents

What is, Adobe's own save as? Some time ago I converted a PDF file that I
received to a text file. Uh, But I can't remember how I did that. How do I
do that? Thank you for your suggestions . LeDon.

I suggest contacting whoever has the original version of the PDF document.
They can send you instead a version after they unlock/unprotect it. I
suspect you may find some of these problems will be resolved. I recently
received a PDF fillable form PDF document that I wanted to convert to Word,
using Adobe's own save as. I was not able to do that, getting an error
message relating to permission levels. I contacted the office that prepared
it, they send me a version with the restrictions lifted, and I got my
functionality back.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Protected PDF Documents & Jaws
Hi,
I have JAWS Version 16 and Windows 7. During this past week I have had
difficulty with two different .pdf documents, both protected. I cannot say
more about the protection, JAWS says protected document, and I am able to
read it for a while. Then my computer slows down drastically, JAWS loses
focus, and I cannot use my computer until I give it a hard reset or a
sighted person closes the .pdf document. Has anyone had this experience or
know of a way to get around it. Also, this last document has links to other
documents which I need to access, but they don't show up as links. When I
enter on their names nothing happens. This may be a separate issue, but
also important to me, as I need to read this documentation for work. BTW, I
am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am investigating having Acrobat Reader
installed to see if this might help. I would appreciate any ideas from this
list.
Thank you.
