The thing I hate about Kindle books is that they strip all the formatting out. So, there are no paragraphs or headings or anything, everything just displays like one big long string of text. That drives me crazy! Apple iBooks has made lots of money off me, just because the reading experience

Well, You could try Acrobat Pro which is cross-platform. Someone on this list mentioned live OCR in the next OS release, I think. If you run JAWS or NVDA on Windows you can use the OCR built into JAWS or the addon for NVDA. Check to see if Pages for the Mac works with PDF. I know you can open

I’m not sure who recommended PDF 10 since I do not use this app. Are you using Windows or Mac at work? JAWS OCR would cost considerably more at work, and the only free OCR I know of is the free NVDA addon. If you need to edit PDF files, maybe Acrobat Pro would be your best option. From: 'De
