I don't know what the practical size limit is, but you can start reading with the conversion in process. Just make sure it's all done before trying to copy to the clipboard. That old Kenwood manual was pretty large, compared to the average newsletter or memo yu're liable to encounter at the office.

I'm not sure how it would handle large pdf's, but it's fine on smaller ones such as letters. I'd like if it could handle mixed-format pdf's, i.e., those containing images of text and straight text. I put that forward to FS, and it may have been passed on to whomever is responsible for developing the document OCR. (To be clear, I'd distinguish between 'graphic' and 'image' pdf's. Graphic could refer to purely pictorial, with no text in it.) -----Original Message----- From: Shoshana Hathaway Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2015 11:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] trying to read PDF files from a Yahoo groups filesection Thanks, Flor! I knew about Open Bok and Kurzweil, of course, but not the others. I'm not so much looking for ways to scan material from print and read it as I am to be able to convert graphic PDF files to text PDF files that I can read, if that is even possible. But I'll look into some of those off the shelf packages, (smile).
