There is a good free automatic email conversion service which will do this which somebody posted a few weeks ago. You might be able to find it on the archives . I did save the mail with the address but I am not on my Mac at the moment. I will send it in later if nobody else does it before me.
I used the service to convert my I-Mac User guide PDF to text so I could listen to it on the fly with my Pocket Plextalk and this worked well. Basically you email the PDF as an attachment and you get a text version emailed back as an attachment very quickly David Griffith -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paula Hobley Sent: 19 December 2011 21:29 To: 'Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility' Subject: turning PDF into text Hi there I am looking for an application that will turn my pdf documents into text. Can anybody recommend anything? I know ABBY Fine Reader is out there, but I don't want to actually scan books, just turn pdf images into text.
